Terry R. Lundeen
Summary
s a result of lessons learned
A
from recent earthquakes
(Loma Prieta, Northridge, Kobe)
as well as on-going research, the
seismic design and detailing of
braced frame connections has
evolved significantly over the past
ten years.
Using an example office building, this paper presents the
design of braced frame connections according to the recently
released 1997 Edition of the
Seismic Provisions for Structural
Steel Buildings by AISC. The
examples include various types of
brace connections and column
splices for Specially
Concentrically Braced Frames,
Ordinary Concentrically Braced
