Abstract

Chevron-bracing frames function as a dual lateral force-resisting structure by arranging pairs of braces within the steel frame, while one brace is in compression and the other in tension. When subjected to continuous lateral loads, the compression brace in chevron-bracing frames is prone to buckling, while the tension brace continues to bear the loads, resulting in the unbalanced force in the beam. There is combined effect between the steel beam and concrete floor, which improves the ability of beam for resisting the unbalanced force. However, the combined effect in chevron-bracing steel frames with unbalanced force is not clear. The chevron-bracing frames is studied by finite element method. It is found that the combined effect improves the mechanical performances of chevron-bracing steel frames, including the lateral load, stress and shear deformation.
