Abstract: Buckling-restrained brace frames (BRBFs) exhibit well-controlled seismic demands due to their excellent energy dissipating capacity. However, excessive residual deformation is prone to accumulate in such framing systems ...

Abstract: This research focuses on a new type of buckling-restrained brace (BRB) with replaceable steel angle fuses. The proposed BRB offers ease of postearthquake examination of fuse damage, convenient and prompt replacement of ...

Abstract: AbstractSteel angles are often used as external energy-dissipating devices at column bases or beam-to-column connections. Compared with the tension-only steel angle (TSA), the double-action steel angle (DSA) is currently ...
