Seismic Behavior and Design of the Linked Column Steel Frame System for Rapid Return to Occupancy

The Linked Column Frame (LCF) is a new brace-free lateral structural steel system intended for rapid return to occupancy performance level. LCF is more resilient under a design level earthquake than the conventional approaches. The structural system consists of moment frames for gravity that combine...
