In this study, dynamic performance of six chevron and split-X braced concentrically braced frames (CBFs) having 3, 6 and 9 number of stories designed as per Turkish Seismic Code 2007 (TSC-2007) and Turkish Seismic Code for Buildings 2018 (TSCB-2018) were compared. By using Opensees software, a total of 1056 nonlinear time history analyses was conducted under 44 far-field ground motions scaled based on TSC-2007 and TSCB-2018 by considering maximum considered earthquake having a 2% probability of being exceeded in 50 years. The results indicate that the archetypes designed as per TSCB-2018 are more reliable in CBFs employing both chevron and split-X brace configuration.
