Seismic behaviour of self-centring braced frame buildings with reusable hysteretic damping brace.

This paper presents the seismic behaviour of a concentrically braced frame system with self-centring capability, in which a special type of bracing element termed reusable hysteretic damping brace (RHDB) is used. The RHDB is a passive energy dissipation device with its core energy-dissipating compon...
