Analysis Methods for the Design of Special Concentrically Braced Frames with Three or More Tiers for In-Plane Seismic Demand

AbstractThis paper presents two analysis methods for the in-plane seismic response of steel multitiered braced frames (MT-BFs) with three or more tiers: (1) a substructuring technique; and (2) a st...
