Cast Steel Yielding Brace System for Concentrically Braced Frames
This thesis presents the development and validation of a high ductility seismic resistant steel brace connector called the Yielding Brace System (YBS) that improves the earthquake performance of steel braced frame buildings. The connector is comprised of two steel castings which dissipate seismic en...
