Influence of the link overstrength factor on the seismic behaviour of eccentrically braced frames

A design procedure for dual eccentrically braced systems: Numerical investigation

“…All other connections are rigid and full strength. The use of these connections is particularly suggested at the ends of braces to facilitate the fulfilment of resistance and stability requirements of beam segments outside links [16].…”

Design and Assessment of Steel and Steel-Concrete Composite Structures: Efficacy of En1998 Design Procedure

“…Some first evaluations on seismic reliability of steel structures taking into account variability of steel properties were executed on concentrically braced frames [8], and eccentrically braced frames [9] but a well comprehensive study, aiming at clarifying aforementioned open problems, is still missing.…”

Gradient-Based Study on Seismic Performance Reduction of Steel Braced Frames Due to Irregular Brace Over-Strength Distributions

“…obtained differentiating Equation (2) with respect to time, using Equation (1) and then comparing the result to Equation (4). Equation (5) is solved and S 0 determined, the motion variation χ directly and linearly related to the small variations θ of the structural parameters:…”

“…[1][2] [3], eccentrically braced frames (EBFs), e.g. [4] [5], and more recently buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs), e.g. [7][8] [9][10].…”
