Estimation of seismic drift and ductility demands in planar regular X-braced steel frames.

This paper summarizes the results of an extensive study on the inelastic seismic response of X-braced steel buildings. More than 100 regular multi-storey tension-compression X-braced steel frames are subjected to an ensemble of 30 ordinary (i.e. without near fault effects) ground motions. The record...
