Application of Buckling Restrained Braces to Upgrade Vertical Stiffness of Existing RC Frames

In this paper, based on the RC frame structure of an industrial building, the finite element model of the structure is developed, according to the Chinese code for seismic design of buildings [9]. Considering the lack of seismic performance, the buckling restrained brace (BRB) is adopted for seismic...
