However, it has observed that significant damages occurred in particularly the nodal point connection of the steel structures in the investigations made after the earthquakes. Therefore, it is very important to know the effect of different central steel brace and nodal point connection type on steel structure behavior. The main purpose of this study is to comparatively examine the effects on the behavior of steel structures of the different central braced types and nodal point connection detail. The findings obtained from structural analyses reveal that different central steel brace members contribute positively to the behavior of steel structures. This result shows that central steel braced that increase the performance of steel structures are very important. In Turkey, particularly in terms of the safety and performance of the steel structures to be constructed in earthquake zones is proposed to prefer steel structural systems with bidirectional central steel braces.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle10.17714/gumusfenbil.9919711331119113979612
