Abstract

Seismic design of steel braced frames in the modern building codes follow the capacity design approach where some of the members are obliged to dissipate energy whereas others are taken care to be protected. In this paper the seismic design methodologies used by European and American approaches for Concentric Cross Braced Frames (CCBF) and Eccentric Braced Frames (EBF) are highlighted. Synoptic tables for the design of such frames of the most advance seismic codes i.e., Eurocode 8 and the seismic provisions of American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) are provided. Emphasizes are made on the provisions of Eurocode 8 both for CCBF and EBF. Finally, a general conclusion is drawn when dealing with CCBF and EBF
