Influence of the Brace Configurations on the Seismic Performance of Steel Concentrically Braced Frames
Concentrically braced Overhead Video frame (CBF) is an effective and prevalent seismic force resisting system which is commonly used in low-rise buildings.This type of structural system utilizes steel braces to provide the stiffness and strength needed to dissipate earthquake energy.Several bracing configurations have been proposed in different bui
