Retrofitting of reinforced concrete structures with steel bracing systems

James O. Jirsa, Marc Badoux
1987
Steel bracing systems have been used for the retrofitting of reinforced concrete buildings with seismically inadequate lateral resistance. Applications of this retrofitting technique are presented and the main aspects of the design of the bracing system are discussed. The behavior under inelastic cyclic lateral deformations of a steel braced frame with weak columns is investigated with an analytical model.
