Abstract

this research presents the performance of an RC frame structure with deficient beam column joints (no
lateral ties at joint panel) retrofitted with eccentric steel braces using a FE software (SAP2000). Such deficient
structures are mostly present in underdeveloped countries like Pakistan. A two storey single bay frame were selected and
modeled in SAP2000. Seismic zone 4 and soil type Sb were selected as site conditions in order to find the seismic
response of the structure. After analysis it was concluded that eccentric steel braces improved the performance of the
structure in terms of lateral stiffness, joint shear demand and ductility of the structure.
