Mitigation of inter-story drift concentration in multi-story steel Concentrically Braced Frames through implementation of Rocking Cores

•The RC is effective in reducing drift concentration in low-rise steel CBFs.•The RC is effective in reducing drift concentration in mid-rise steel CBFs.•The RC is effective regardless of seismic force distributions.•The RC is effective regardless of target performance objectives.
