Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) can be used as a lateral load resisting system in seismic prone regions. A typical EBF consists of links, beams, columns and braces. Links are the fuse members providing energy dissipation during an earthquake. After a seismic event, damaged links need to be replaced with the new ones to recover initial stiffness and ductility of the structure. A comprehensive experimental research program has been undertaken to develop new replaceable link details. One of the proposed details is based on splicing the beam outside of the link and braces. In this type of a replaceable link, both the bearing type and slip critical type connections can be employed with different levels of bolt pretension. Four nearly full scale EBFs with replaceable links were tested to study the effect of the type of connection and gap size adopted in splice connections. The results indicate that both the bearing and slip critical type of connections can be employed for the splice connections if the bolts are fully pre-tensioned and frictional faying surfaces are provided.

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...
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...
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 ...
Mid-spliced end-plated replaceable links for eccentrically braced frames
Özkılıç, Yasin Onuralp; Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakır; Topkaya, Cem (2021-06-15)
Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) can be re-used after a major seismic event by replacing the link members. Recent years have witnessed the development of numerous replaceable links. Among various details developed for this purpose, extended end-plated replaceable links are found to be the most efficient. The use of these links enables the engineer to minimize the size and the weight of the part to be replaced. In addition, the performance of end-plated links is similar to that of conventional links. Resea...
Determination of Displacement Amplification Factors for Chevron BRBFs
Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakır; Özkılıç, Yasin Onuralp; Topkaya, Cem (null; 2017-10-05)
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.
