Eccentrically Braced Frames

As research of steel lateral-resisting systems has evolved, eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) have emerged as a preferred economical solution to more traditional alternatives. It is essentially a hybrid, combining the stiffness of concentrically braced frames with the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of a moment frame. The design is based on applicable provisions of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 341) and Prequalified Connections for Special and Intermediate Steel Moment Frames for Seismic Applications (AISC 358). This presentation will summarize current design provisions and focus on a recently published design example in Volume 4 of the SEAOC Structural/Seismic Design Manual. The example is intended as a design illustration for the practicing structural engineer, with a focus on applicable code provisions and accepted design implementation approaches.
