Abstract

The majority of death and building damages in natural disasters are caused by earthquake. The seismic performance of structure depends on its structural properties and ground motions. An effective lateral load resisting system should be provided in all structures to ensure safety. Recently, a new hysteretic device were developed by researchers known as Crescent Shaped Bracing (CSB) within the frame work of stiffness, strength and ductility design. CSB has a special “ad-hoc” shape which allows to choose lateral stiffness independently from the yield strength of the device. This made CSB as an alternative for the conventional energy dissipating devices. In this study, dynamic response of steel building with crescent shaped bracing system with various angles and configuration were investigated. Nonlinear time history analysis was carried out in ETABS to evaluate the performance based on maximum storey displacement and maximum storey drift.
