A novel type of angle steel buckling-restrained brace Cyclic behavior and failure mechanism.

A novel type of angle steel buckling-restrained brace (ABRB) has been developed for easier control on initial geometric imperfection in the core, more design flexibility in the buckling restraining mechanism and easier assembly work. The steel core is composed of four angle steels to form a non-weld...
