Improving performance of large‐span framed structure using amplified‐deformation braces with steel curved dampers

This study focused on the seismic performance enhancement of steel framed structures with large spans. A novel brace design, comprising a pair of brace segments connected with an angle and an effective steel curved damper, forming an A‐brace, was proposed in this study. The A‐brace was adopted in the beam‐to‐column reg...
