Experimental and Analytical Performance of Concentrically Braced Steel Frames
This paper briefly summarizes the ongoing research about concentrically braced steel frames that are widely used in north America. In the analytic phase, a series of nonlinear dynamic analyses and parameter studies are carried out to improve better understanding of the seismic behavior of concentrically braced frames to identify improved performance based design and analysis procedure. Analytical results of a two-story model building with bracing configuration identical to the test specimen are presented here. In the experimental phase, four large-scale two-story tall special concentrically braced frames and two buckling restrained braced frames are designed and tested in the NEES facility at Berkeley. Test reults and experimental observations of the first two braced frame specimens using square and round hollow structural section as bracing components are presented in this paper.
