The energy dissipation of inverted V-type eccentric steel braced frames can be achieved through the yielding of a slit link, through yielding of a number of strips between slits when the frame is subjected to inelastic cyclic deformation. On the other hand, the development of seismic resistance system without residual deformation is obtained by applying the superelasdtic shape memory alloy (SMA) material into the brace and link elements. This paper presents results from a systematic three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis on the structural behavior of the eccentric bracing systems subjected to cyclic loadings. A wide scope of structural behaviors explains the horizontal stiffness, hysteretic behaviors, and failure modes of the recentering eccentric bracing system. The accurate results presented here serve as benchmark data for comparison with results obtained using modern experimental testing and alternative theoretical approaches.

In this study, the susceptibility of different symmetric steel buildings with dual frame system to Progressive Collapse (PC) was assessed. Some ten-story dual frame systems with different type of braced frames (concentrically and eccentrically braced frames) were considered. In addition, numbers and locations of braced bays were investigated (two and three braced bays in exterior frames) to quantitatively find out its effect on PC resistance. An Alternate Path Method (APM) with a linear static analysis was carried out based on General Services Administration (GSA 2003) guidelines. Maximum Demand Capacity Ratio (DCR) for the elements (beams and columns) with highest DCRs ($DCR_{moment}$ and $DCR_{shear}$) is given in tables. The results showed that the three braced bays with concentric braced frames especially X-braced and inverted V-braced frame systems had a lower susceptibility and greater resistance to PC. Also, the results represented that the beams were more critical than columns against PC after the removal of column.

철골구조에서 지진력 저항시스템으로 많이 사용되고 있는 가새골조시스템은 중심가새골조(Concentrically Braced Frames, CBF)와 편심가새골조(Eccentrically Braced Frames, EBF)로 구분하여 KBC2009 건축구조기준에서는 서로 다른 반응수정계수를 적용하여 설계하도록 되어있다. 현행 내진설계기준에서 편심가새골조에 대하여 링크 타단 접합부의 종류에 따라 모멘트 저항접합일 경우 반응수정계수는 R=8, 비모멘트 저항접합일 경우 반응수정계수 R=7로 적용하여 설계하도록 규정하고 있을 뿐 편심길이의 영향을 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 편심가새골조 중에서 역V형가새골조를 대상으로 비탄성 거동을 파악한 다음 편심길이에 따른 반응수정계수를 산정하여 내진설계 기준에서 제시한 값과 비교한 결과 편심가새골조에 대하여 동일한 반응수정계수를 적용하는 것은 적절하지 않음을 확인하였다.
