Extensive research into the inelastic seismic response of concentrically braced frames and their components has been carried out in the last two decades. This knowledge has now been incorporated into seismic design practice in several countries, notably the U.S.A., Canada, and New Zealand. In this paper, design specifications from these three countries, which derive largely from the same body of research, are compared. The basic design philosophy for concentrically braced steel frames, loading, and member detailing are examined. It is concluded that, in general, the Canadian specifications are in conformity with the available information and have many similar features to codes of the other countries. Significant differences exist in the classification of braced frames, between interstorey drift requirements, in the treatment of dual structural systems, and to a lesser extent in member detailing requirements. Some features of Canadian codes meriting review are identified. Key words: structural engineering, earthquakes, standards, steel, braced frame, ductility, concentric bracing, dual system.

This research investigates the brace-to-gusset connection designs to allow the braces buckle in the plane (IP) of the frame. In order to study the performance of the IP buckling brace connections with different design details, five 3,026 mm–long A36 H 175 × 175 × 7.5 × 11 mm braces were tested using cyclically increasing axial displacements. All specimens failed at an average axial strain less than 0.025 due to the brace fracture at the mid-length where severe local buckling had occurred. Pseudo-dynamic tests on a three-story special concentrically braced frame (SCBF) using the proposed brace end connection details for six A36 H 150 × 150 × 7 × 10 mm braces were conducted using the PGA = 597 cm/s2 LA03 record to confirm with the component tests. The knife plates and IP buckling braces sustained a peak 0.049 rad interstory drift under the design base earthquake without fracture. The highly nonlinear responses were satisfactorily predicted by OpenSees. Recommendations on the seismic design of the IP buckling brace connections are provided.

Four configurations were analyzed for a ten storey “inverted Y-braced” frame with rigid and/or pined beam/column and diagonal/column connections. All considered frame configurations were sized for the forces produced by the same code seismic design force evaluated according to the in charge Romanian seismic design code. In case of two of the considered configurations, additional potentially plastic zones with reduced member cross-sections were provided along the girders and diagonals of the frame (in order to size clearly by design a global plastic failure mechanism for the “inverted Y-braced” frame). The behavior of each frame configuration during dynamic nonlinear analyses was observed. The steel consumption was estimated for each considered configuration.

Bangunan yang hancur oleh gempa dapat dicegah dengan memperkuat struktur bangunan terhadap gaya gempa yang bekerja padanya. Perkuatan bangunan dapat dilakukan dengan memperkaku bangunan dalam arah lateral yaitu <em>moment resisting frame</em> (<em>rigid frame</em>), <em>braced frame</em> dan <em>shear wall</em>. Bangunan dinding geser merupakan salah satu jenis <em>bangunan</em> tahan gempa gedung beton bertulang menggunakan sistem rangka struktur yang dikombinasikan. Kinerja gedung akan bertambah dan menjadi optimal jika pola penempatan <em>dinding geser</em> serta metode analisanya tepat. Sistem lainnya dalam mengurangi kerusakan bangunan akibat gempa dengan <em>performance based seismic design</em> yaitu dengan menggunakan <em>base isolator.</em>, yang memanfaatkan teknik analisa non-linear berbasis komputer untuk menganalisa perilaku inelastis struktur dari berbagai macam intensitas gerakan tanah (<em>gempa</em>), sehingga dapat diketahui kinerjanya pada kondisi kritis. Tujuan penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui perioda dalam penggunaan <em>base isolator </em>dengan yang tanpa menggunakan <em>base isolator,</em> pada bangunan sistem ganda, lantai 10 tingkat, bentuk beraturan pada bangunan dinding geser. Analisis data yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan bantuan <em>software </em>komputer <em>SAP2000</em>. Pembebanan pada gedung didasarkan pada peraturan bangunan gedung beton bertulang dan analisa dinamik <em>Time History Modal Analysi</em>s struktur dalam Tata Cara Perencanaan Ketahanan Gempa Untuk Struktur Bangunan Gedung Dan Non Gedung (SNI 1726:2012). Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwa penggunaan <em>base isolator</em> memperbesar perioda alami. Nilai perioda pada dinding geser dan dinding geser <em>base isolator</em> besarnya berturut-turut 0.988 detik dan 2.465 detik. Hal ini menyebabkan gaya gempa yang bekerja menjadi lebih kecil.
