Abstract:
Buckling-restrained braces are able to provide significant energy dissipation along with large ductile capacity through their excellent hysteretic behavior. However, due to their lack of recentering capability, buckling-restrained braced frames experience large residual drifts following a strong earthquake, leading to enormous repair costs. To overcome this shortcoming, super-elastic shape memory alloy braces with excellent recentering capacity have been introduced as a viable alternative to steel braces. Nevertheless, their energy dissipation capacity is usually low for seismic applications.

Abstract:
Buckling-Restrained Brace (BRB) consists of energy dissipative core and a strengthening tube to prevent buckling when subjected to compression. Under cyclic loading, BRB exhibits elastoplastic hysteretic behavior, which leads to certain amount of permanent displacement in the structure after medium to severe earthquake. Residual deformations can result in increased cost of repairing. An innovative BRB device called Self-centering Buckling-Restrained Braces (SC-BRB) is devised to control maximum and residual drift of steel moment frame buildings subjected earthquakes. The SC-BRB is composed of

Abstract:
The paper proposes a displacement-based design method for seismic retrofit of RC buildings using hysteretic dissipative braces. At first, a fully multimodal procedure based on an adaptive version of the capacity spectrum method is applied to the 3D model of the damped braced structure. Then, the properties of an idealized bilinear model are defined using the seismic characteristics of the compound system thus accounting for the frame-damped brace interaction. Finally, an iterative procedure is developed to provide an optimal distribution of dampers. The proposed method overcomes the limitation

Abstract:
In this work, seismic performance of conventional X-braced frames is enhanced by using Drawer Bracing Systems (DBS). DBS is an innovative structure, which increases ductility and energy absorption capacity of the X-braces through elimination of the harmful effects of local and global buckling and by converting the induced axial forces inside diagonal arms to flexural moments. Two half-scale specimens are tested under cyclic loading and the seismic performance of an X-shaped DBS is compared to that of an X-braced frame. Both braced frames are designed for equal nominal base shears and have simi

Abstract:
According to modern seismic codes, in concentrically braced frames the seismic input energy should be dissipated by means of the hysteretic behaviour of braces while all the other members (i.e. beams and columns) have to remain elastic. Accordingly, the design internal forces of braces are determined in these codes by elastic analysis of the structure subjected to seismic forces obtained by the design spectrum. The internal forces of the non-dissipative members, instead, are calculated by means of specified rules for the application of capacity design principles. According to some recent numer

Abstract:
The design of steel chevron-braced frames as per Eurocode 8 is based on the idea that only the braces should buckle and yield during ground motions, while other members should remain elastic. The elastic design of the braced frames is also allowed. However, in both cases, the seismic performance of the frame may be compromised because of premature yielding/buckling of columns. This paper proposes an alternative design procedure that promotes yielding of beams in addition to yielding of braces.

To assess their degree of degradation, damage indices are used which estimate their remaining dissipative capacity through the combination of a number of variables such as, for example, the number of cycles sustained a

TEST ON RESILIENCE CAPACITY OF SELF-CENTERING BUCKLING RESTRAINED BRACE WITH DISC SPRINGS. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/icass2020.p.156.

Abstract:
The properly constructed buckling restrained braces (BRBs) usually have good ductility and energy dissipation capacity and therefore can be used in braced steel frames. However, large residual plastic deformation of the BRBs deteriorates their resilience capacity and hence results in large residual deformation of the buckling restrained braced steel frames (BRBFs) under large drifts. To reduce the residual deformation of BRB while keeping good ductility and energy dissipation capacity, a new self-centering buckling restrained brace (SCBRB), letting both BRB part and self-centering part work in

THE SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF DOUBLE TUBE BUCKLING RESTRAINED BRACE WITH CAST STEEL CONNECTORS. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/ijasc.2022.18.1.2.

Full text
Abstract:
The special concentrically braced frame (SCBF) is an aseismic structure, but its bracing system exhibits brittle failure and premature buckling connected with the weld fracture of the gusset plate and the post-buckling of the braces; thus, maximizing the role of energy dissipation is difficult. Here, this paper proposes a system of double-tube buckling-restrained brace with cast steel connectors for steel SCBFs. The large inelastic deformation of the bracing system is mainly concentrated in the ductile cast connectors under the earthquake, and the degree of buckling and post-buckling of braces

Abstract:
This paper proposes a new design method for concrete-filled tubular buckling-restrained braces (CFT-BRBs) by incorporating the confinement effect on pre-buckling rigidity. A series of experiments are performed to investigate the effects of concrete strength and sectional dimension on the initial stiffness, ultimate strength, and energy dissipation behaviors. Experimental results indicate that the confined concrete plays an important role in the energy dissipating capacity of CFT-BRBs. On the other hand, the sectional dimensions of the steel tube and core are influential factors governing the u

Abstract:
This paper evaluates the seismic performance of conventional steel composite beam-column rigid joints, and a novel buckling restrained knee-braced joint (BRKBJ), considering the impact of the floor slab. A series of quasi-static comparative tests were conducted to analyze the failure mode, load-bearing capacity, hysteresis performance, and ductility of both types of joints. Our findings revealed that the hysteretic curve of the BRKBJ exhibits a robust and shuttle-like shape, suggesting an adequate energy dissipation performance. However, its yield displacement is relatively small. Conversely,

Abstract:
Using buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) in frames with high-strength concrete-filled square steel tube columns(HSCFSSTC) can solve issues such as brittle failure and low lateral stiffness. To investigate the mechanical performance of buckling-restrained brace frames(BRBFs), an experiment study was conducted. The investigation involved the design and analysis of a frame system composed of BRBs, HSCFSSTC and H-shaped steel beams. Sub-structures at a 1/3 scale with two types of connections, welded and pin connections, were subjected to pseudo-static tests. The influence of BRBF connection types o

Abstract:
In this study the employment of aluminium alloy buckling-restrained braces (ALBRBs) as energy dissipation dampers is attempted for seismic performance upgrading of single layer dome and the effectiveness of ALBRBs to protect structures against strong earthquakes is numerically studied. With buckling restrained, ALBRB members can provide stable energy dissipation capacity and thus damage of the whole structure under major earthquakes can be mitigated. ALBRBs are then placed at certain locations on the example single layer dome to replace some normal members with two schemes, and the effect of t

NONLINEAR FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF ALL-STEEL BUCKLING RESTRAINED BRACES. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/ijasc.2023.19.3.5.

Abstract:
Buckling restrained braces are gaining popularity in earthquake-resistant designs these days. These braces give stable hysteretic behaviour with a non-buckling steel core encased in a steel tube, that is filled with concrete or mortar. However, in the last few years, researchers have observed that these braces do not need any filler material and can be all-steel. This study aims to carry out a parametric study on All-Steel Buckling Restrained Braces (ASBRBs) by varying the restraining mechanism, the amount of gap between the core and the restrainer, and loading protocols.
