The effects of bracings on progressive collapse resistance of reinforced concrete multi-story frames by Miao, Lingyu

“…Three three-story reinforced concrete (RC) frames, with one bare frame and two frames strengthened by additional steel bracings are tested. The experimental results indicate that steel bracings can enhance the initial stiffness significantly, but the improvement on ultimate strength varies among different configurations of steel bracings. …”
