EFFECT OF BUCKLING RESTRAINED STEEL BRACES ON NONLINEAR BEHAVIOR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES

Buckling Restrained Braces are useful structural components when providing bracing for seismic or other loads. Buckling Restrained Braces which have a large ductility capacity are helped to decrease the plastic deformations due to seismic loadings. Although the literature information is limited for the reinforced concrete structures, frame with Buckling Restraint Braces are being used for a new and existing reinforced concrete buildings. In this study, Buckling Restraint Braces which are implemented to reinforced concrete sample structures having different number of stories (low/medium-rise) with different configurations are examined using nonlinear static analysis process. depremlerin ülkemiz ekonomisinin en az zarara olu？mas
