Seismic Retrofitting of Steel Frames with Buckling Restrained and Ordinary Concentrically Bracing Systems with Various Strain Hardening and Slenderness Ratios

The present study assesses the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames (SMFs) retrofitted with different bracing systems. Two structural configurations were utilized: ordinary concentrically braces (OCBFs), buckling-restrained braces (BRBFs). A 7-story and 18-story steel perimeter SMFs were designed with insufficient lateral stiffness to satisfy code drift limitations in high seism...

optimization of the steel frames bracing template

the most conventional method for lateral bracing of steel frames is using diagonal and x steel braces. in conventional method, braces of frame emplace in one bay or more, relative to structural requirement, from first to last story without displace the braces emplacement on height as columnar form. this pattern is a preliminary and simplest bracing template that the generally codes present base...

Cost-optimization of many-robot systems

Cost optimization will be essential to the economic viability of future many-robot systems. Unfortunately, cost-optimal design will often depend sensitively on the performance and costs of candidate sensor and other components, and on both explicit mission-specific and implicit common sense application requirements. The development of a standardized integration architecture providing multi-leve...
