Understanding Buckling Restrained Braces by Archana Rajan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) provide a ductile alternative to Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) for seismic design. BRBs consist of a ductile steel core encased in a concrete-filled steel casing with an unbonding layer between. This prevents local buckling of the core under compression, allowing the core to yield bidirectionally. BRBs dissipate more energy than CBFs through stable hysteretic behavior of the core in both tension and compression. Their implementation in structures since 2000 has demons
