Seismic Evaluation of Eccentrically Braced Steel Frames Designed by Performance-Based Plastic Design Method


Abstract eng:
This paper discusses the influence of degrading hysteretic behavior of shear links and P-Delta effect on seismic response of steel Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBF). A 10-story example frame was designed by a newly developed Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) methodology and current code method. The responses of the two frames under inelastic pushover and time history analyses are compared to evaluate the influence of strength degradation of shear links and the P-Delta effect.
