Braced piers of steel truss bridges having braces with latticed built-up cross-sections may su er significant damage during earthquakes due to the buckling, rapid strength degradation, and fracture of the braces. One retro t alternative for such a bridge pier is to supplement the existing structural system with a system of energy dissipation devices (or structural fuses) that will yield and dis...

In recent years, the demand for maintaining building functions after large earthquakes has been increasing especially high-rise buildings. For this reason, importance of vibration control systems is which efficiently absorb energy buildings during an earthquake. Among several dampers, a buckling restraint brace (BRB) widely used in practice design high rise structures because its ease installat...
