in this study, for evaluating ductility of ordinary concentrically braced frames (ocbfs) and special concentrically braced frames (scbfs) which are x- braced in two adjacent middle spans, 16 steel ordinary concentrically braced frames and 16 special concentrically braced frames are studied. the results confirm that, although most of ordinary concentrically braced frames, which are x-braced, can...
