Abstract
Recent research developments on eccentrically braced steel frames for seismic design are reviewed. The emphasis is placed on the design of links, which are short sections of beams between columns and braces, and similar elements at eccentric joints. The review includes some highlights of the latest experiments with one-third scale models employing different eccentric bracing schemes, an updated classification of links, and special design requirements for different types of links. Some results are given on recent cyclic tests of full-size links.
