Abstract: Abstract In past earthquakes, low-ductility steel concentrically braced frame (CBF) buildings have been observed to retain reserve capacity after brace fracture. The failure mechanisms and earthquake ground motion-sensitive characteristics of the reserve system of low-ductility… read more here.

Abstract: This article focuses on evaluating the adequacy of a seismic rehabilitation technology which adds rocking cores to deficient steel concentrically braced frames in near-fault regions. Two demonstration buildings were rehabilitated with the technology. Seismic performance… read more here.
