Buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) can be used as a lateral load resisting system in high seismic regions. In the United States it is necessary to comply with the requirements defined in the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC341- 10) for the design and production of BRBs. In addition, response factors defined in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-10) should be utilized. In this study, deflection amplification factor (Cd) is evaluated. Pursuant to this goal, three archetypes composed of chevron BRBFs were designed as per ASCE7-10 and AISC 341-10. Elastic and inelastic time history analyses of these archetypes were carried out. The archetypes were subjected to maximum considered earthquake ground motions by using 44 far-field records. Cd factor for BRBFs were obtained from analysis results and compared with the codified value. According to the results, the lower stories experience larger displacements and the upper stories experience lower displacements when compared with code estimates.

An Experimental Study on Welded Overlap CoreSteel Encased Buckling-restrained Braces
Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakır; Topkaya, Cem (null; 2017-09-13)
Buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) can be used as a lateral load resisting system in seismic regions. A typical buckling restrained brace (BRB) is composed of a core segment, debonding material and a buckling restraining mechanism (BRM). The cross‐section of the core segment can be changed along the length to constrain yielding in a limited domain. Most of the BRBs utilize a rectangular core segment which is reduced in width throughout yielding length. The gradual reduction in the width of the core s...
Experimental and numerical studies on replaceable links for eccentrically braced frames
Özkılıç, Yasin Onuralp; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2020)
Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are extensively used as a steel lateral load resisting systems in high seismic regions since EBFs simulate ductility and high energy absorption capacity of moment resisting frames (MRFs) and high stiffness of concentrically braced frames (CBFs). High stiffness and high ductility of EBFs are obtained from diagonal braces and yielding of link element, respectively. This thesis reports findings of a three phase experimental and numerical research program on replaceable links ...
Numerical investigation of braces and replaceable links for steel frames
Kazemzadeh Azad, Sina; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-2-10)
Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) and eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are among popular lateral load resisting systems for steel structures. The present study investigates different aspects of these systems. The part devoted to EBFs begins with a comprehensive review of research where 22 future research needs are identified and presented. This is followed by an experimental study on the low-cycle fatigue behavior of links, which are the most important members of an EBF. Results of the experimental stud...
Effects of different core plate properties on global response of BRBFs
Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakır; Özkılıç, Yasin Onuralp; Topkaya, Cem (null; 2017-10-05)
Steel buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) are one of the most preferred lateral load resisting systems in seismic prone regions due to their high elastic stiffness and high ductility. Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) utilize a core segment which is used as a fuse element to provide a high level of energy dissipation without loss of inherent axial load carrying capacity. Only the yielding part of the entire core segment is subjected to inelastic deformation during a destructive earthquake. Therefore, ...
Analysis of the flexural strength of prestressed concrete flanged sections
Baran, Eray; French, Catherine (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2005-01-01)
Inconsistencies in the sectional response of prestressed concrete flanged sections predicted by the AASHTO LRFD and AASHTO Standard Specifications, including the maximum reinforcement limits, may arise due to different interpretations of the equivalent rectangular compressive stress block idealization. Strain compatibility analyses with nonlinear material properties were performed for a variety of non-rectangular prestressed concrete sections to identify the inconsistencies between the two specifications. R...
