Behavior of Moment Resisting Reinforced Concrete Concentric Braced Frames (RC-MRCBFs) in Seismic Zones
Abstract eng: This paper presents the results of a study devoted to evaluate, using nonlinear analyses, the behavior of ductile moment-resisting reinforced concrete concentric braced frames structures (RC-MRCBFs) using steel bracing. RC-MRCBFs were designed for lakebed region of Mexico City. It is possible to conclude from the results obtained in this study the need to improve current guidelines in the Mexican building code in order to warrant a ductile behavior for this structural system and to achieve the expected collapse mechanism.
