Innovative Bracing System for Earthquake Resistant Concentrically Braced Frame Structures

The chevron braced frame is a widely used seismic force resistant system in North America in areas subjected to moderate-to-severe earthquakes. However, the chevron braced frame system is limited in term of lateral loads redistribution over the building height. Khatib et al (1988) proposed to add z...
