Multi-level enhancement of structural behavior of bracing systems with coupling beams at floor level
Despite good rigidity, braced frames have weak nonlinear behavior and inadequate distribution of ductility in stories, which cause significant structural damage. In this research, a seismic resistant system called coupled concentrically braced frame (CCBF) is developed to enhance the performance of braced frames by coupling them with a beam. In this case, the coupling beams are the primary source for ductility of the system, and after their yielding in more severe earthquakes, the structure continues to benefit from the ductility of the braces as the secondary source; therefore, the system has two-level behavior caused by different probable seismic excitations. In this case, in addition to maintaining the stiffness of the two concentrically braced frames, the coupling beams resist against the movement of the braced frames, and as a result, the stiffness of the system is increased. Therefore, lighter elements can be used to resist lateral loads. Linear and nonlinear analyses of CCBF, and its comparison with other braced frames, indicate that participation of the coupling beams provides an adequate stiffness and ductility. These frames have more stable nonlinear behavior than conventional ones and continue their nonlinear behavior even after fracture of coupling beams in severe earthquakes.
