As an earthquake-resistant structural element, buckling-restrained brace (BRB) not only
adds strength and stiffness but provides excellent energy absorption capability to a structure …

In this paper, the bending and buckling analysis of microbeam with the uniform and non-
uniform cylindrical cross-section was examined based on the classical beam theory and the …

Following the Northridge earthquake in 1995, buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs)
were used as effective substitutes for concentrically braced frames (CBFs). However, despite …

The deformation design requirements of buckling-restrained brace (BRB) are explicitly
stipulated in design standards to ensure the safety of the building structures. However, BRBs …

Long-span single-layer spatial grid structures are widely applied in public buildings. Given
their long-span and single-layer characteristics, they can easily collapse during accidental …

Global buckling in compression braces results in compression strength degradation,
compression stiffness degradation, brace local buckling, and finally brace fracture …

Metallic dampers with plastic energy dissipation are often used in the seismic protection of
civil structures. However, conventional metallic dampers cannot provide adequate energy …

This paper is concerned with the optimal (or least weight) design of steel buckling-restrained
braces against global buckling. First, the global buckling prevention criterion of steel …

This paper examines some of the largely neglected areas of opportunity to utilize skeletal
space structure systems in support of the modular, industrialized, economical, sustainable …

This study proposes a novel buckling-restrained brace (BRB) using multiple round steel core
bars to increase the feasible strength of BRBs utilizing steel bars with roll-threaded screw …
