Abstract:
A bare steel structure will undergo large lateral displacement and sudden failures during an earthquake. Hence to control this buckling restrained bracing system in the structure is incorporated. In this study time history analysis was conducted on an 18 storied steel building under EL Centro earthquake in E-Tabs software. The storey response parameters used are storey displacement, base shear to find the best location, effective configuration, best core length. Based on the study a location, configuration, and best yield core length which is more economical is selected and its structural seismic performance was evaluated.
