N2  - Four configurations were analyzed for a ten storey "inverted Y-braced" frame with rigid and/or pined beam/column and diagonal/column connections. All considered frame configurations were sized for the forces produced by the same code seismic design force evaluated according to the in charge Romanian seismic design code. In case of two of the considered configurations, additional potentially plastic zones with reduced member cross-sections were provided along the girders and diagonals of the frame (in order to size clearly by design a global plastic failure mechanism for the "inverted Y-braced" frame). The behavior of each frame configuration during dynamic nonlinear analyses was observed. The steel consumption was estimated for each considered configuration.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
