Seismic Stability of Steel Wide Flange Columns in Concentrically Braced Frames: Response and Design Recommendations

Abstract This paper evaluates the seismic stability response of wide flange steel concentrically braced frame (CBF) columns and proposes drift-based stability design recommendations for such columns under seismic loading. Four full-scale tests were conducted on seismically compac...

Seismic Performance of Buckling-Restrained Braces Subjected to Subduction Interface Earthquake Demands

Abstract Five full-scale buckling-restrained brace (BRB) specimens, part of the second story of a 5-story steel buckling-restrained braced frame (BRBF), were tested experimentally to investigate their seismic response under demands imposed by long-distance subduction interface ea...
