Eccentrically Braced Steel Frame Design Theory and Application Research in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Eccentrically braced steel frame is a good anti-seismic structure which can be used in seismic area. A series of experiments and theoretical researches have been conducted in developed countries. However, research on this kind of structure in China is at an early stage. This paper reviews experimental, theoretical and practical application researches in China. The aim is to contribute to a better understanding of the development of the structure for designers in China, to provide a reference for researchers in this area, and to accelerate practical usage of the structure in seismic areas.
