Abstract:Due to features such as ductility and stiffness, the eccentrically-braced frames(EBF) have a good performance against seismic loads and have been considered by designers. Previous studies indicate that the soil underlying the structures affects their seismic behavior. In the case of EBFs, the link beam plays an imporatnt role in the seismic behavior of the system and thus, investigation into the effect of the geometric characteristics of the link on general behavior of the system, would be of utmost significan… Show more
