This paper reviews the research conducted on steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs).
Both component level and system level responses for such braced frames are treated and …

This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of seismic design
requirements for main steel building seismic force–resisting systems, as driven by new …

In the current design of steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs), the yielding link is coupled
with the floor beam. This often results in oversized link elements, which leads to …

A replaceable coupling beam is proposed comprising of steel hybrid shear links that are
shorter than typical shear links in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). Cyclic loading tests …

Cyclic loading tests were conducted to study the behavior of link beams in steel eccentrically
braced frames. A total of thirty-seven link specimens were constructed from five different …

The rapid growth of using the short links in steel buildings due to their high shear strength
and rotational capacity attracts the attention of structural engineers to investigate the …

The inelastic rotation capacity of links in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) is dependent on
testing loading history or sequence. Current design rotations for links are based on …

For improving the seismic resiliency of coupled shear wall systems, a type of replaceable
steel coupling beam was developed, which consists of a central “fuse” shear link connecting …

This study assesses the seismic performance of a hybrid coupled wall (HCW) system with
replaceable steel coupling beams (RSCBs) at four intensities of ground motion shaking. The …

Many recent research studies focused on the development of innovative seismic-resilient
structures, chasing the objectives of minimising both seismic damage and repair time, hence …
