Strukturseminar: Seismisches Verhalten und Design des Linked Column Steel Frame Systems für schnelle Wiedernutzung

Wird ins Deutsche übersetzt…

Abstract: The Linked Column Frame (LCF) is a new brace-free lateral structural steel system intended for rapid return to occupancy performance level. LCF is more resilient under a design level earthquake than the conventional approaches. The structural system consists of moment frames for gravity that combine with closely spaced dual columns (LC) interconnected with bolted links for the lateral system. The LC links are sacrificial and intended to be replaced following a design level earthquake. The centerpiece of this work was a unique full-scale experiment using hybrid testing; a combination…
