A new structural system for earthquake resistant steel structures is investigated in this paper. This new framing system, called the knee-brace-frame (KBF), is a braced frame with diagonal braces connected to ductile knee members. The diagonal braces provide the lateral stiffness, whereas the knee a

A new method for designing moment resisting steel frames failing in a global mode is presented in this paper. Starting from the analysis of the typical collapse mechanisms of frames subjected to horizontal forces, the method is based on the application of the kinematic theorem of plastic collapse. T

Fires following earthquakes are considered one major threat in seismic regions. In fact, according to modern seismic codes, ordinary structures are designed to suffer damage to some extent during strong earthquakes, exploiting the structure own ductility to avoid collapse and safeguard human lives.

Steel frames are, in general, indeterminate and thus they do not necessarily fail when some elements constituting the system are subjected to fracture or buckling during a severe earthquake. The purpose of this paper is to assess the advantage of such redundancy inherent in indeterminate structural

A solution technique based on the sequential linear programming (SLP) method is presented for the optimum design of braced and unbraced steel frames in seismic regions. First, the optimum rigidity distribution of the frames under static loading is computed, then the optimization procedure is repeate
