Direct displacement-based seismic design of buckling-restrained braced RC frames

The experiences of past earthquakes show that the moment-resisting reinforced concrete structures suffered damage due to the inherent brittle behaviors of concrete and lack of structural stiffness. The configuration of buckling restrained brace (BRB) in RC frame is widely increased for the development of the reinforced concrete buckling‐restrained braced (RC-BRB) dual system since the implementation of BRBs can significantly improve the …
