Buckling-restrained brace using steel mortar planks; performance evaluation as a hysteretic damper.

The authors developed a buckling-restrained brace that enables increased design freedom at both ends of the core plate and strict quality control while providing stable hysteresis characteristics even under high strains. The buckling-restrained brace can be formed by welding a core plate covered wit...
