Seismic performance of eccentrically braced frames with short-links: IDA approach using chilean earthquakes
Journal of Building Engineering(2023)
Abstract
In this research the seismic performance of eccentrically braced frames (EBF) with short links using Chilean earthquakes is studied. The study includes nonlinear static and dynamic analyses, calibration of numerical link models with experimental studies, and over 15,000 models analyzed. Results show that higher ductility and deformation are obtained in most archetypes, while models with 8 stories exhibit more stiffness and less ductile behavior. Furthermore, the strength capacity and ductility increase with the increment of the seismic zone and soft type of soil. Moreover, the research provides a table with the seismic design parameters for each archetype group comparing these values with Chilean seismic specifications. Finally, the study concludes that structures designed with more strength and stiffness have a lower collapse probability under extreme events. This research provides valuable information for structural design and includes fragility curves and a discussion of results that can be applied to structural design.
