Structural engineers inspecting Christchurch’s six steel structures designed with eccentric bracing to resist seismic loads found that five performed well in the shallow Canterbury earthquake that ...
The buckling restrained braced frame system was introduced to the U.S. construction market in 1999 as a solution for meeting hardened building codes following the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Since ...
Performance-based seismic design is on a roll, thanks to recent, first-of-their-kind shake-table tests that proved the viability of a “rocking” braced frame that moves seismic design beyond life ...
