Earthquake Response of High-rise Steel Frames with Bolted Beam-to-Column Connection using Buckling-Restrained Knee Brace Dampers

Abstract

Structural system using buckling-restrained knee brace dampers was proposed in order to stabilize the construction quality of low and middle-rise buildings. In this paper, we look into the possibility of this structural system for highrise buildings. We designed high-rise frames using this system, and carried out earthquake response analysis of them. Adding this, we considered the method to decrease the earthquake response of them.
