Abstract
Controlling the structures under seismic excitations is a great challenge in the earthquake engineering. In this regard, bracing systems have been presented and applied to provide additional rigidity for the structures. However, conventional bracing systems are buckled under compressive forces. In this research ribbed bracing system (RBS) is proposed to deal with the buckling problem of conventional bracings. Full capacity of RBS is used under cyclic loading. Ribbed bracing system is constructed by adding a supplement part with a ribbed mechanism to the conventional bracing systems. As the supplement part is locked when the bracing is under tensile forces, the bracing system can absorb...
