This study is broadly-based fragility assessment with greater emphasis on structural response at in-plan flexible and stiff sides. To this end, three type of three-dimensional 5-story steel building structures with stiffness eccentricities, were subjected to extensive nonlinear incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) utilizing Ibarra-Krawinkler deterioration models. Fragility assessment was implemented for different configurations of braces to investigate the losses in buildings with center of resisting (CR) eccentricities. }, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {10}, year = {2016}, pages = {1283 - 1289}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005562}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/118}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 118, 2016}, }
