Abstract

The effective length factor of the braced beam with in-plane buckling in the chevron braced steel frame with pinned connections was derived, and verified in comparison with the value calculated by the eigenvalue buckling analysis using the software ABAQUS. The results show that, the numerical values of effective length factor are basically 0.9-1.1 times of the theoretical values, indicating the numerical and theoretical values agree well with each other. Based on the research conclusions above, the stability design suggestion about the braced beam under frequent and rare earthquakes was put forward.
