A corner gusset plate possesses interfaces to both beam and column. To calculate the force demands of corner gusset plate interfaces, several methods have been proposed by researchers. No method has been proposed to determine dimensions and force demands for the gusset plates of chevron‐Special Concentrically Braced Frames (chevron‐SCBFs), so far. Generally, researchers utilize Uniform Force Method (UFM) to estimate the dimensions and force demands of chevron gusset plates. Note that the UFM was proposed for the corner gusset plates which have interfaces to both beam and column; nevertheless, there is only a gusset plate interface to beam in the gusset plates of chevron‐SCBFs. This study aims to calculate the force demands of chevron gusset plates through proposing a new method and also determine the chevron gusset plate dimensions via presenting a new procedure. Five one‐span, one‐story chevron‐SCBFs with selecting the bracing angles of 31°, 37°, 45°, 59°, and 72° for them were designed in accordance with the proposed procedure and method and thereafter developed in ABAQUS. These frames were subjected to a monotonic loading. Comparison between the results obtained from ABAQUS and those calculated using the proposed method demonstrated the accuracy of the proposed method and procedure.

通过一种新方法设计人字形SCBF的角撑板

角撑板具有与梁和立柱的接口。为了计算角撑板接口的力需求，研究人员提出了几种方法。到目前为止，还没有提出任何方法来确定人字形-特殊同心支撑框架（人字形-SCBF）的角撑板的尺寸和受力要求。通常，研究人员使用统一力法（UFM）来估算人字形衬板的尺寸和力需求。请注意，建议将UFM用于角撑板，该角撑板同时具有梁和立柱的接口。但是，在人字形SCBF的角撑板中只有一个角撑板界面可以束射。这项研究旨在通过提出一种新方法来计算人字形衬料板的受力要求，并通过提出一种新的程序来确定人字形衬料板的尺寸。五个单跨1层人字形SCBF，其支撑角度选择为31°，37°，45°，59°和72按照建议的程序和方法为它们设计°，然后在ABAQUS中进行开发。这些框架承受单调载荷。从ABAQUS获得的结果与使用所提出的方法计算的结果之间的比较证明了所提出的方法和程序的准确性。
