Seismic Design of Braced Steel Frames

by Subhash C. Goel, Univ of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Stability Under Seismic Loading

Abstract:

Seismic behavior of a six-story, K-braced structure without backup ductile moment-resisting frames designed according to the current Uniform Building Code is studied in this paper. The associated problems of column buckling and fracture of bracing members during a severe earthquake motion are discussed. A practical and rational method for safe design of such structures is presented.
