Design of Eccentrically Braced Frames (Recording)

Eccentrically braced frames have long been considered one of the most ductile steel systems with a logical, capacity-based design procedure. While the design requirements are detailed, they are logical and easily understood in the context of expected behavior. This presentation provides a straight-forward treatment of design and detailing of eccentrically braced frames, with simple roadmaps trough the provisions and design tools to make the design process more efficient for the engineer.
