Seismic loss comparison for buildings designed with ductile steel seismic force‐resisting systems and with controlled rocking braced frames

Observations from past earthquakes have highlighted the structural damage and significant residual deformations experienced by ductile steel seismic force-resisting systems (SFRSs), such as special moment resisting frames (SMRFs), special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs), and buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs). To mitigate these challenges, controlled rocking braced frames (CRBFs) have emerged as a promising low-damage alternative …
