Viscoelastically Enhanced Buckling Restrained Braces for P-Delta Cancellation and Reduced Residual Drifts

Abstract

AbstractAn innovative viscoelastic buckling-restrained brace (VE-BRB) is proposed as an enhancement to conventional buckling-restrained braces (BRBs). This brace mitigates P-delta effects, introduces a recentering capability, and provides enhanced ...
