Abstract
Important buildings, such as hospitals and nuclear power facilities, must have basically intact pipe systems to function effectively after an earthquake. To study the seismic fragility and failure mechanisms of different typical seismic bracing system types, this paper conducts a comprehensive series of 34 monotonic and cyclic loading tests on four distinct configurations of seismic bracing. The bearing capacity performance and ductility of the components are evaluated thoroughly by using the area (energy) corresponding to the yield displacement, peak force corresponding displacement, and ultimate displacement of the force–displacement curve in the cyclic loading test. Ultimately, the results comprehensively assess the performance of various test specimens, offering suggestions to address the identified issues.
