RISUsing Buckling-Restrained Braces on Long-Span Bridges. II: Feasibility and Development of a Near-Fault Loading Protocol
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are reliable energy-dissipating axial members that recently became popular in the seismic design of buildings. Using the Vincent Thomas Bridge (VTB) as a case study, this research investigates ...
Using Buckling-Restrained Braces on Long-Span Bridges. I: Full-Scale Testing and Design Implications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using the Vincent Thomas Bridge (VTB) as a feasibility case study, near-fault loading protocols for qualifying buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) for use on long-span bridges were developed and are presented in a companion ...
