In this video tutorial you will learn how to model Eccentrically Steel Braced Frame in Abaqus and ETABS Software as well as how to conduct a pushover analysis in the end comparing the results from both software.
Eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are a relatively new lateral force resisting system developed to resist seismic events in a predictable manner. Properly designed and detailed EBFs behave in a ductile manner through shear or flexural yielding of a link element.
