There are many studies in the literature conducted on the subject of ensuring earthquake safety of reinforced concrete and steel structures using steel braced frames, but no detailed study concerning individual behavior of steel braced frames under earthquake loads and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures with out-of-plane steel braced frames has been encountered. In this study, in order to evaluate behaviors of "Concentrically Steel Braced Frames" types defined in TEC-2007 under lateral loads, dimensional analysis of Concentrically Steel Braced Frames designed with different scales and dimensions was conducted, the results were controlled according to TEC-2007, and after conducting static pushover analysis, behavior and load capacity of the Concentrically Steel Braced Frames and hinges sequence of the elements constituting the Concentrically Steel Braced Frames were tested. Concentrically Steel Braced Frames that were tested analytically consist of 2 storey and one bay, and are formed as two groups with the scales 1/2 and 1/3. In the study, Concentrically Steel Braced Frames described in TEC-2007 were designed, which are 7 types in total being non-braced, X-braced, V- braced, $\wedge$- braced, $\backslash$- braced, /- braced and K- braced. Furthermore, in order to verify accuracy of the analytic studies performed, the 1/2 scaled concentrically steel X-braced frame test element made up of box profiles and 1/3 scaled reinforced concrete frame with insufficient earthquake resistance were tested individually under lateral loads, and test results were compared with the results derived from analytic studies and interpreted. Similar results were obtained from both experimental studies and pushover analyses. According to pushover analysis results, load-carrying capacity of 1/3 scaled reinforced concrete frames increased up to 7,01 times as compared to the non-braced specimen upon strengthening. Results acquired from the study revealed that reinforced concrete buildings which have inadequate seismic capacity can be strengthened quickly, easily and economically by this method without evacuating them.

가새골조는 가장 경제적이고 효과적인 내진시스템 중 하나로써 자주 사용된다. 그러나 중앙부 거셋플레이트를 포함하는 다층 X-형 가새골조의 경우, 실무에서 뿐만 아니라 거동에 대한 연구도 드물다. 그 결과, 이 시스템의 내진 성능과 접합부 설계에 미치는 영향은 아직 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이 영향을 파악하기 위해 선행해석연구가 수행됐고 이 선행연구는 실험체 제작 전에 수행되어 시스템 거동을 예측하고 효과적인 디자인을 위해 수행되었다. 선행연구 결과를 보면 중앙부(X 교차부) 거셋플레이트와 코너부 거셋플레이트의 거동이 상당히 다르다는 것을 알 수 있다. 선행연구의 결과로 결정된 실제크기의 2층 중심가새골조 실험체의 실험결과와 해석결과를 요약하였고 그 결과를 비교하였다.

In this paper, seismic provisions related to built-up special concentrically braced frames (BSCBFs) are investigated under cyclic loading using non-linear finite element analysis of a single-bay single-story frame. These braces, which contain double angle and double channel brace sections, are considered in two types of single diagonal and X-braced frames. The results of this study show that current seismic provisions such as observing the 0.4 ratio for slenderness ratio of individual elements between stitch connectors are conservative in BSCBFs, and can be increased according to the type of braces. Furthermore, such increments will lead to decreasing or remaining the current middle protected zone requirements of each BSCBFs. Failure results of BSCBFs, which are related to the plastic equivalent strain growth of members and ductility capacity of the models, show that the behaviors of double channel back-to-back diagonal braces are more desirable than those of similar face-to-face ones. Also, for double angle diagonal braces, results show that the failure of back-to-back BSCBFs occurs faster in comparison with face-to-face similar braces. In X-braced frames, cyclic and failure behaviors of built-up face-to-face models are more desirable than similar back-to-back braces in general.

In this paper, influence of geometric configurations of multi-story bracing on shear lag behaviour of braced tube structures is investigated. The shear lag of 24-, 36- and 72-story braced tube structures are assessed considering all possible configurations of overall X and Chevron bracing types. Based on the analytical results, empirical equations, useful for the preliminary design phase, are proposed to provide the optimum number of stories that braced, in order to exert minimum shear lag on structures. Studying the interaction behaviour of a tube and different bracing types along with paying attention to the shear lag behaviour, a better explanation about the reasons behind the efficiency of a specific bracing module in decreasing the shear lag is developed. The analytical results show that there are distinct differences between the anatomy of braced tube structures with X and Chevron bracing regarding the shear lag behaviour.

Two-storey X-bracings are currently very popular in European practice, as respect to chevron and simple X bracings, owing to the advantages of reducing the bending demand in the brace-intercepted beams in V and inverted-V configurations and optimizing the design of gusset plate connections. However, rules for two-storey X braced frames are not clearly specified within current version of EN1998-1, thus leading to different interpretations of the code by designers. The research presented in this paper is addressed at investigating the seismic behaviour of two-storey X concentrically braced frames in order to revise the design rules within EN1998-1. Therefore, five different design criteria are discussed, and their effectiveness is investigated. With this aim, a comprehensive numerical parametric study is carried out considering a set of planar frames extracted from a set of structural archetypes that are representative of regular low, medium and high-rise buildings. The obtained results show that the proposed design criteria ensure satisfactory seismic performance.

The geometric nonlinearity of off-diagonal bracing system (ODBS) could be a complementary system to covering and extending the nonlinearity of reinforced concrete material. Finite element modeling is performed for flexural frame, x-braced frame and the ODBS braced frame system at the initial phase. Then the different models are investigated along various analyses. According to the experimental results of flexural and x-braced frame, the verification is done. Analytical assessments are performed in according to three dimensional finite element modeling. Nonlinear static analysis is considered to obtain performance level and seismic behaviour, and then the response modification factors calculated from each model's pushover curve. In the next phase, the evaluation of cracks observed in the finite element models, especially for RC members of all three systems is performed. The finite element assessment is performed on engendered cracks in ODBS braced frame for various time steps. The nonlinear dynamic time history analysis accomplished in different stories models for three records of Elcentro, Naghan and Tabas earthquake accelerograms. Dynamic analysis is performed after scaling accelerogram on each type of flexural frame, x-braced frame and ODBS braced frame one by one. The base-point on RC frame is considered to investigate proportional displacement under each record. Hysteresis curves are assessed along continuing this study. The equivalent viscous damping for ODBS system is estimated in according to references. Results in each section show the ODBS system has an acceptable seismic behaviour and their conclusions have been converged when the ODBS system is utilized in reinforced concrete frame.

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.

Using X-braced frames in steel structures is a current procedure to achieve good strength against lateral loads. Study on mid-connections of X-braces and their effects on frame behavior is a subject whose importance has been more or less disregarded by researchers. Experimentally inspecting models involves considerable expense and time; however, computer models can be more suitable substitutes. In this research, a numerical model of X-braced frame has been analyzed using finite element software. The results of pushover analysis of this frame are compared with those of the experimental test. With the help of computer model, the effects of different mid-connection details on ductility and lateral strength of the frame are inspected. Also performances of bolted and welded connections are compared. Taking into account ductility and strength, this study suggests details of a decent pattern for the mid-connection.

현 내진기준의 근간인 역량설계법(capacity design)에 의할 때, 중심가새골조의 내진설계는 기둥 및 보부재는 탄성부재로, 가새부재는 반복적인 인장과 압축을 통해 지진에너지를 소산하는 비탄성 부재로 설계되어야 한다. 가새부재는 에너지를 소산하는 과정에서 기둥부재에 추가적인 축력을 유입시키므로, 이 추가 축력을 고려하여 기둥부재를 탄성설계해야 한다. 현행 기준은 중심가새골조의 기둥부재 설계시 전층의 가새가 동시에 인장항복 및 좌굴하는 가장 보수적인 상황을 가정하여 기둥의 축력을 산정하거나 특별지진하중에 대해 기둥을 설계하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 그러나 전층의 가새가 동시에 좌굴할 가능성은 희박하며, 특별지진하중에는 시스템 초과강도라는 경험적이고 우회적인 요소가 도입되었다는 한계가 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 극복하기 위한 몇몇 선행 관련 연구들 역시 가새의 좌굴을 명시적으로 고려하지 못하였을 뿐더러 역학적 근거도 희박하다. 최근에 행해진 연구 중에서 역 V형 중심 가새골조를 대상으로, 기존의 기둥축력 산정법이 가지는 한계를 극복할 수 있는 새로운 기둥축력 산정법이 제안된 바가 있다. 하지만 역 V형 중심 가새골조와 X형 중심 가새골조의 하중전달 메커니즘은 상이하기 때문에 이 축력산정법을 X형 가새골조에 그대로 적용할 수는 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 X형 중심가새골조만의 역학적 특성을 고려한 네 가지의 기둥축력 산정법을 제안하였다. 특히 모달질량을 가중치로 고려하여 고차모드의 영향을 반영할 수 있는 새로운 방안을 제시하였다. 방대한 지진데이터를 입력으로 한 비선형 동적해석을 수행하여 제시된 방안의 타당성을 평가하였다.
