A Macro‐Model for Simulating Gusset Plate Buckling in Buckling‐Restrained Braced Frame Buildings
ABSTRACT 2D models, which are conventionally employed for the seismic performance assessment of buckling‐restrained braced frame (BRBF) buildings, are incapable of simulating the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates. This study presents a novel 3D macro‐modelling approach capable of capturing the out‐of‐plane buckling of gusset plates in BRBFs.

ABSTRACT Lead high‐damping rubber (LHDR) bearings, composed of high‐damping rubber and lead core, are effective isolation devices that address increased seismic demands. The temperature effect on the behavior of LHDR bearings is significant, leading to increased initial stiffness at low temperatures.
