Thermal Behavior of Cylindrical Buckling Restrained Braces at Elevated Temperatures
The primary focus of this investigation was to analyze sequentially coupled nonlinear thermal stress, using a three-dimensional model. It was meant to shed light on the behavior of Buckling Restraint Brace (BRB) elements with circular cross section, at elevated temperature. Such bracing systems were comprised of a cylindrical steel core encased in a strong concrete-filled steel hollow casing. A...
متن کاملApplication Procedure for Optimized Placement of Buckling Restrained Braces in Reinforced Concrete Building Structures
Abstract—The optimal design procedure of buckling restrained braces (BRBs) in reinforced concrete (RC) building structures can provide the distribution of horizontal stiffness of BRBs at each story, which minimizes story drift response of the structure under the constraint of specified total stiffness of BRBs. In this paper, a simple rule is proposed to convert continuous horizontal stiffness o...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of the Buckling Restrained Braces in Tall Buildings with peripherally braced frames
In recent years, seismic design of structures has been undergoing significant changes due to increasing demand for optimization and minimizing the level of damage and reducing the cost of structural repairs. Development of analytical methods and remarkable improvements of computer performance have been among the factors which influenced the design of structures. A lot of research has been condu...
متن کاملBridge Piers with Structural Fuses and Bi-Steel Columns. I: Experimental Testing
Structural fuses, easily replaceable sacrificial elements to dissipate seismic energy while preventing damage to the gravity loadresisting structural system, are proposed as part of a multicolumn accelerated bridge construction (ABC) pier concept. Different types of structural fuses are investigated to compare the effect of each on ABC bridge bents. The piers of a three span-continuous bridge p...
متن کاملcyclic performance of buckling restrained composite braces composed of selected materials
concentric bracing is one of the most common lateral load resistant systems in building frames, and areapplied to many structures due to their manufacturing simplicity and economics. an important deficiency in thebracing members is their irregular hysteretic loops under cyclic loading. in order to overcome this problem, it isadvised to restrain braces against buckling under compression, since b...
