THE INVESTIGATION OF SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF BRACED STEEL STRUCTURES

Seismic behavior of braced steel structures using shape memory alloys and bound braces restrained against buckling, studied under the effect of different time histories using a software that have been developed for this purpose and could analyses structures dynamically and nonlinearly. It has been Shown that the superiority of either of these two systems, under the same stiffness and strength of braces, depends on these verity of the earthquake
