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...
