Seismic Response of Concentrically Braced Steel Frames Made with Rectangular Hollow Bracing Members
Abstract
This paper describes an experimental study on the seismic performance of concentrically braced steel frames made with cold-formed rectangular tubular bracing members. A total of 24 quasistatic cyclic tests were performed on full size X bracing and single diagonal bracing systems. Two loading sequences were considered: a symmetrical stepwise increasing deformation sequence and a displacement history obtained from nonlinear dynamic analyses of …
