This study analyzed the effect of horizontal energy dissipation beams on the seismic and progressive collapse resistance of dual braced moment frames. Nonlinear dynamic and static analyses were performed on frames with and without energy dissipation beams. The results showed that including energy dissipation beams reduced frame displacement by 3% and base shear by 23% under seismic loading. In progressive collapse analysis, frames with energy dissipation beams exhibited improved resistance when columns were removed, increasing load capacity by up to 15.48% compared to frames without beams. The energy dissipation beams improved the overall seismic and progressive collapse performance of the dual braced moment frames.
