Overstrength Factors of Buckling Restrained Braced Frames [PDF]

Journal of the Earthquake Engineering Society of Korea, 2004
In this study the overstrength factors of medium to low-rise bucking restrained braced frames (BRBF) were evaluated. Various design variables, such as number of stories, span length, yield strength of the brace, level of earthquake load, and the response modification factors.

Effect of the transverse reinforcement spacing in nodal zones on the seismic behavior factor of RC frames according to Algerian design code RPA99/version2003

Journal of Building Materials and Structures
The seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) frames is significantly influenced by the confinement provided by transverse reinforcement. This study investigates the effect of transverse reinforcement spacing on the seismic behavior factor (R) of ...

Boundary condition effect on response modification factor of X-braced steel frames

HBRC Journal, 2018
Design of the structures to resist seismic force depends on the theory of dissipation in elastic energy that already exists in response modification factor “R-factor”.

Effect of irregularity on seismic design parameters of RC-infilled structures

Magazine of Civil Engineering, 2021
A four-storey reinforced concrete (RC) building is seismically evaluated with the incorporation of different irregularities. Three model systems have been considered, i.e., model I: (RC-infilled regular frame in X and Y direction), model II: (RC-infilled

An investigation on the effect of gusset plate connection rigidity on the seismic behavior of special concentrically braced frames [PDF]

Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016
Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) are commonly used to resist lateral loads in buildings. The bracing system sustains large deformations due to inelastic behavior in bracing members (buckling and yielding in tension).

Seismic Performance and Generalized Damage Risk of Modular Cross Laminated Timber Houses Across Ten United States Cities

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 687-703, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Housing shortages in the United States and the pursuit of sustainable and resilient communities have positioned cross‐laminated timber (CLT) housing as a promising alternative due to the ability to design for modularity, ease of construction, and low embodied carbon performance.
