Seismic Collapse Risk Assessment of Braced Frames under Near-Fault Earthquakes

Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) located in regions close to earthquake faults may be subjected to near-fault ground motions, often characterized by pulses with long periods. These near-fault pulses could impose additional seismic demands on structures and increase the risk for structura...
