Steel frames with bracing mechanism and hysteretic dampers.
A new earthquake resistant structural system for multi storey frame structures, based on a dual function of its bracing components, is developed. This consists of a hysteretic damper device and a cross bracing mechanism with a kinetic closed circuit, working only in tension, so that cable members ca...
