Cyclic Loading Test of Rectangular Tube-Type Buckling-Restrained Braces with Enhancements to Prevent Local Bulging Failure

In this study, innovative enhancements of rectangular tube-type buckling-restrained braces are proposed to prevent bulging failure on the surface of the outer restrainer and validated experimentally. First, an inner restrainer composed of a bent plate, which increases the stiffness and strength to r...
