Eccentrically braced frame is an effective lateral-resistant system which simultaneously has the advantages of rigidity of concentrically braced frames and ductility of m [...]

The design of an eccentrically braced frame is based on creating a frame which will remain essentially elastic outside a well defined link. During extreme loading it is a [...]

Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) are usually infilled by masonry walls, but in common design, the stiffness and lateral resistance of these walls is ignored. In this st [...]
