In this study, buckling analyses of two-dimensional steel frames are carried out considering various combinations of 3 bays and 3 stories, with and without braces under lateral and vertical loads separately. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of a particular bracing location on the overall buckling behavior of frames incorporating a single diagonal brace or an X (cross) brace in either of the bays of first story or in the other closed loops of the frame, individually. The effects are compared for bare frames, fully braced frames, one other bracing type and for the diagonal braces having the same slenderness as that of beams and columns. Such type of analysis is useful for the safe design of framed structures against buckling. |
