eccentrically braced frame (EBF)
Standards
a braced frame in which at least one end of each brace frames only into a beam in such a way that at least one stable, deformable link beam is formed in each beam if the elastic limit of the frame is exceeded. In this event, energy is dissipated through shear and/or flexural yielding in the link beams (termed the active link regions) whereas the bracing members and columns remain essentially elastic
