Prinz, Auteur ; Paul W.

Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) will accommodate windows, doors, and halls, but have performance limitations when link-to-column connections are required. An alternative to EBFs may be buckling-restrained braced frames with eccentric configurations (BRBF-Es). This paper introduces the concept of BRBF-Es and highlights design considerations. An analytical study was conducted that compares the performance and economy of BRBF-Es with EBFs. Results from non-linear time history analyses indicate that BRBF-Es will have greater residual drifts than comparable EBFs, but are less susceptible to failures at link-to-column connections. BRBF-Es require more steel than EBFs, but savings in design, fabrication, and erection may offset higher material costs.
