Paper on Low-Ductility Braced Frames

A new paper on seismic performance of low-ductility braced frames is now available online in the ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering:

This paper complements a pair of earlier papers that examined fundamentals of system behavior through full-scale experiments and static numerical simulations:
