چکیده مقاله:

Yielding elements (YE) are among those devices that not only help control structural damages, but make better seismic behavior by concentrating the frames in some removable part of the structures. YE are located at the intersection of Concentric Braced Frame (CBF) in a rectangular shape. In this paper, Seismic behavior of the frames with YE will be investigated. For this reason, 5 braced steel frames with different stories (3, 5, 7, 10 and 15) equipped with yielding elements and diverse opening percentages (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50) are modeled in the Opensees software. At first, through a linear static analysis, the stiffness of these frames is investigated, taking into account changes in the size of the YE and the increasing height of the frames. Subsequently, through some nonlinear dynamic analysis, an attempt is made to investigate their seismic behaviors including stiffness and resistance in different records of earthquake. Finally, the R factor of those optimized frames is calculated. The results show the efficiency of these elements in making a better seismic behavior.

Comparison of Seismic Behavior of Buckling-restrained Braces and Yielding Brace System in Irregular and Regular Steel Frames under Mainshock and Mainshock-Aftershock

Due to low stiffness of braces after yielding, the structures with buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) experience high residual drifts during an earthquake, which can be intensified by aftershocks and causes considerable damages to structures. Also, due to poor distribution of stiffness, this problem is exacerbated for irregular structures. Recently, the yielding brace system (YBS) has been intro...

Evaluation of Seismic Behavior of Steel Moment Resisting Frames Considering Nonlinear Soil-structure Interaction

In structural analysis, the base of structures is usually assumed to be completely rigid. However, the combination of foundation and the subsurface soil, makes in fact a flexible-base for the soil-structure system. It is well-known that the structural responses can be significantly affected by incorporating the Soil-structure Interaction (SSI) effects. The aim of the present study is to provide...

Seismic Behavior of Asymmetric Two-Story X-braced Frames

Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are one of the efficient lateral load resisting systems in high seismicity regions. One of the common problems with the use of concentrically braced frames is limitation in the architectural application and position of the openings. Two-story X braced frames have more advantages than other configurations of concentrically braced frames, since in many cases th...
