Abstract:
The results of an experimental program in which seven reinforced concrete (RC) braced frames with different bracing, one reinforced concrete frame, and one reinforced concrete shear wall were tested under vertical loading and reversed cyclic horizontal loading are described in this paper. The research focused mainly on the failure mechanism, strength, degradation in stiffness, and hysteresis loop of the reinforced concrete braced frame.
