Some assessments on seismic performance of braced steel frames

28053

The 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes showed that new technologies and structural configurations are needed to limit damage to steel structures subjected to moderate and large ground motions. In order to evaluate the behavior and seismic capacity of structures under earthquake effect traditionally, seismic design methods are insufficient. In recent years, many studies about seismic performance of steel frames have been carried out in the world. Most of these studies are numerical studies. Numerical studies carried out by making use of advanced computer programs and to be supported with experimental studies. Experimental studies, though few in number, are carried out as well. In these studies, main differences are both on the bases of numerical and experimental modeling or computer programs and experiment sets. This paper is investigate and discuss some problems which are made about studies of seismic performance of steel structures in last decade.
