Abstract Details

2016, Master of Science in Engineering, University of Akron, Civil Engineering.
Self-centering concentrically braced frames (SC-CBFs) have been developed to reduce the structural damage caused due to earthquakes. SC-CBF systems have better seismic performance than the conventional concentrically braced frame (CBF) system; SC-CBF systems exhibit less damage to structural and non-structural components under earthquake loading. Recent research has shown that low-rise or mid-rise building seismic performance is better compared to high-rise SC-CBF performance. This study includes the design procedure of the SC-CBF structural members, prototype building, and the analytical procedure considerations in analyses of the prototype structure. The engineering demand parameters (inter-story drift and the peak roof drift) are developed using the nonlinear time history analysis of the structure under a set of ground motions. Then the results are used to evaluate the performance of the structure. In this study, static pushover and dynamic analyses are performed on a 6 story SC-CBF with different numbers of frames in each direction for the same building dimensions (essentially varying the tributary mass per frame). This study proposes to investigate the performance of the structure with varying tributary mass per frame.
