Fig. 19. Effect of load limiting mechanism on cumulative energy absorption. B1, B3, gusset <strong>plate</strong> buckling (GBC); B2, B4, brace<br />

buckling (BBC).<br />

Fig. 20. Effect of gusset <strong>plate</strong> thickness: (a) 6m,(b) 9mm,<strong>and</strong>(c) 12mm.<br />

In general, hysteresis plots for the weak gusset <strong>plate</strong> –<br />

strong brace member models exhibited less pinching <strong>and</strong><br />

sustained higher post-buckling compressive loads than the<br />

conventionally designed subassemblies.<br />
