Steel moment-resisting frames are susceptible to large lateral displacements during severe earthquakes. However, frequent damage to concentrically braced frames in past earthquakes, such as the 1994 Northridge earthquakes, has raised concerns about the ultimate deformation capacity of this class of structure. Also, there is no way to accurately predict the behavior of the brace member in the event of earthquakes. Therefore, the objective of this study is to compare the performance of chevron braced frames when they are used in the upgrade of deficient RC frames.
