CEE PhD Defense - Bryam Xavier Astudillo Carpio\, "Assessing practical design methods for strongback braced frames using hazard-consistent collapse risk analysis"

Abstract: Improving community resilience requires structural systems that limit structural damage and reduce downtime after an earthquake. Strongback braced frames (SBFs) with buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) offer an alternative to more traditional braced frames by reducing drift concentrations. Particularly, SBFs use a stiff, essentially elastic vertical truss (i.e., “strongback”) that redis
