The behavior of eccentrically braced frame (EBF) concrete structure type v with variation of stirrup distance on link beam due to cyclic load

The Eccentrically Braced Frame (EBF) structural system is one earthquake-resistant structure that can be applied to buildings. However, several studies have shown that there are parts of the EBF structure that need special attention, namely the link beam element. Shear failure occurs in link beam elements due to inelastic behavior. Experiments were carried out on three models, Concentrically Braced Frame (CBF-V), EBF-V-15, and EBF-V-25. Observations and analyzes were carried out for load displacement and crack patterns due to cyclic loading. The results show that the EBF-V-25 structure can withstand the most significant lateral force and major displacement compared to the CBF-V and EBF-V-15 structures. On the other hand, the EBF-V structure has a more prominent curve load-displacement area than CBF-V. The design of the EBF-V-25 can withstand greater loads but more displacement than the EBF-V-15. Many cracks in the link beam elements indicate that the EBF system is a structural system that limits the inelastic behavior of the link beam.
