Abstract: Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) increase the strength of a system while dissipating a significant amount of hysteretic energy. This research presents a concept for a lateral force resisting system using a reinforced ...

Abstract: Since their first use in 1989, buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) have proven to be an efficient energy dissipation device. Two reduced scale quasi-static cyclic experiments were conducted for a reinforced concrete (RC) ...
