Opis

Seismic engineering and lateral resistant scheme attract a few researchers desire to conduct and proposed a variety of system which can be assured the structural safety and economical aspects of design. Eccentrically braced frames (EBF) are generalized frame systems that axial forces from the brace elements are transferred either to a column or another brace member throughout shear and bending in an "active link" or simply "link". This link operates to dissipate the large quantities of input energy of severe seismic event through material yielding. Furthermore, one benefit of using the link element is significant flexibility concerning the placement of the braces that result in less interference with the architectural limitation and specification. In this study, the new removable active link with web reduced is proposed. After incidents of earthquake, the removable web reduced can be replace easily. Moreover the efficiencies of this system were evaluated through numerical analysis. Parametric study of link length was performed based on push over analysis.
