Seismic Design for Ordinary Concentrically Braced Frames Based on IBC 06 & AISC 341-05
Special concentrically braced frames (SCBFs) are among the most common steel structures for resisting earthquake loads in high seismic regions. Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are elastically designed as one vertical truss system to resist lateral loads through axial brace members when they are introduced.
