Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to assess the performance of a new buckling-restrained brace (BRB) system for retrofitting seismically deficient reinforced concrete frames. The BRB consists of a ductile inner ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation of the dynamic behavior of a reinforced concrete frame that was strengthened by a buckling-restrained brace (BRB). The behavior of this frame was benchmarked against a ...
