A seismic upgrading method for steel arch bridges using buckling-restrained braces.

In this study the employment of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) as energy dissipation dampers is attempted for seismic performance upgrading of steel arch bridges and the effectiveness of BRBs to protect structures against strong earthquakes is numerically studied. With buckling restrained, BRB me...
