The Key Issues and Considerations of Buckling Restrained Braces in Seismic Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The damping mechanism of buckling restrained braces is clear, the effect is significant, safe, reliable and economical, it can be used in structures that have different seismic requirements and seismic intensity. It can be used for single-storey buildings, high-rise buildings. It has not only been applied to new buildings, but also have been used for seismic reinforcement and shock repair of the built construction, so it has broad application prospects.
