Özet

Nowadays, the architecture of cities develops vertically instead of horizontally due to increasing population and urbanization. Especially in cities defined as metropolises, the number of multi-story buildings increases day by day. However, the design of multi-story buildings is quite important under unpredictable loads such as earthquakes. For this reason, steel braces are used to increase the existing strength and rigidity of structures built in earthquake zones. Steel braces allow the structure to carry more load and displace less under horizontal loads. Thus, they increase the strength and rigidity of structures. In this study, reinforced concrete frames were modeled by SAP 2000 finite element software, and then concentric steel braces were added to these structures. As a result of the analysis, the period, frequency, top displacement, base shear force and story drift values of the structures were obtained. Thus, the structural behavior of the frames designed and analyzed under vertical load and earthquake effects was compared.
