Seismic Retrofitting of Existing Steel Frames with External BRBs: Pseudo-Dynamic Hybrid Testing and Numerical Parametric Analysis [PDF]
The use of buckling‐restrained braces (BRBs) is an effective strategy for improving the seismic performance of existing structures. BRBs can be included within existing frames, creating an additional load path and contributing to their strength ...

Seismic Retrofit of Steel Truss Bridge Using Buckling Restrained Damper
Buckling Restrained Bracings (BRBs) are widely used to improve the seismic behavior of buildings. They are employed for bridges as well, but their application in this respect is limited. BRBs can also be used as a function of the individual damper rather

END DETAILING EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF ALL-STEEL TUBULAR BRBS
To clarify the effects of end details on the seismic performance of a new type of All-Steel Tubular Buckling Restrained Brace (AST-BRBs) constructed by placing a steel tube as a core member within another steel tube as an external restraint (pod), an experimental study was conducted.

Performance of the Cold-Bending Channel-Angle Buckling-Restrained Brace under Cyclic Loading
In this study, three restricted cold-bending channel-angle buckling-restrained brace (CCA-BRB) specimens were experimentally characterised by a low-reversed cyclic loading test. Three specimens had steel cores with cruciform cross section.
