Seismic performance of steel frames equipped with BRB

This paper Investigates the capabilities that BRB has and can help in facing seismic waves.Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames (BRBFs) are a steel seismic-load-resisting system used to dissipate energy.The focus of this paper is on the seismic response of braced frames utilizing buckling restrained braces.It presents behavior of steel frames equipped with BRB and compare it with bare frames (not supportedwith BRB). ABAQUS is a package for structural analysis is used for modelling, calculating results forstudied frames and getting a FEM model.
