  • Post-Earthquake Performance Assessment of Steel Strongback Braced Frames

    Creator:
    Rhoades, Katharine
    Abstract:
    Traditional braced frames are an efficient and economic means of resisting seismic demands. However, braced frames are prone to story mechanisms, which can result in concentrations of demands and damage during seismic events. Including steel strongbacks in conjunction with traditional braced frames can mitigate story mechanisms. The SBF results in...

  • Improving Braced Frame Modeling Application

    Creator:
    Groshong, Corey
    Abstract:
    This work analyzes the numerical curvature of buckling braces. An existing brace modeling learning tool, which in its current state allows users to change the inputs within a simulated model of a braced element, was modified to display the curvature diagram. The curvature diagram was verified through comparison to existing...
