INCREMENTAL DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MULTI-TIERED BRACED FRAMES

Abstract

Industrial projects such as single-story, high-rise structures, are commonly used in countries with high seismicity, whose structural system is made up of bracing, which is responsible for providing sufficient resistance. and rigidity to the structure. The interesting about multi-panel frames is that they don’t have a rigid diaphragm between more than two panels of the structure.

The present makes the non-linear dynamic analyzes (time-history) to each structural model to obtain values ​​that allow evaluating the seismic performance of the structures and to compare the results obtained from each applied design methodology to finally conclude about the observed behavior of the multi-tiered braced-frames system (MTBF).
