Seismic Performance and Failure Mechanism of Megabraced Frame-Core Tube Structures with Different Brace Patterns

The effect of mega braces on structural stiffness has been comprehensively discussed for various megabraced frame-core tube structures. However, few studies have considered how mega braces affect the failure mechanism of mega structures exposed to seismic action, which is a nonlinear process. To add...
