Seismic behavior and design of friction concentrically braced frames for steel buildings
This study explores the possibility of improving the seismic response of concentrically braced frames (CBFs) by including friction connections at the end of the bracing members. These connections will slip at a predetermined load level in order to absorb and dissipate by friction most of the energ...
