| Popis: | 90 A Buckling Inhibited Brace, or BIB, is composed of a main load-carrying element and a lateral-support element. The axial forces (tension and compression) are taken only by the main load-carrying element. The lateral-support element provides continuous lateral support for main load-carrying element to prevent the load-carrying element from buckling. The axial strength, energy dissipation capacity and ductility of main load-carrying element can be completely developed. A frame employing BIBs as concentric braces is called Ductile Concentrically Braced Frame, or DCBF. Four topics about BIBs are explored in this study: (1) the buckling behavior of BIBs;(2) the hysteretic behavior and models of BIBs; (3) the low cycle fatigue life and damage model of BIBs; (4) the seismic performance of DCBF. |
