Seismic performance evaluation of concentrically braced and fiction damped braced frames through full-scale testing
The study describes the analyses of a six storey concentrically braced frame (CBF) and an equivalent frame retrofitted with friction-damped bracing (FDBF). The CBF was designed according to the ductile braced frame requirements of the Canadian steel building standard CAN/CSA-S16.1-M89 (S16.1) and...
