Abstract

Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames (BRBF) have become one of the standard ductile lateral systems for building structures and bridges to resist the earthquake loads. This system incorporates special diagonal elements, called BRB, that do not buckle in compression hence providing a stable and nearly symmetrical hysteretic response in tension and compression with high seismic energy dissipation capacity. The energy dissipation capability of BRBs is strongly linked to the performance of buckling restraining mechanism that constrains the internal ductile core from undergoing excessive lateral deformation. The force demand on the restraining system depends on several factors that should be precisely estimated and implemented in design.

Résumé

Les contreventements à diagonales ductiles confinées (DDC) sont devenus le système de contreventement standard pour les bâtiments et pont pour résister aux charges sismiques. Ce système intègre un concept spécifique de diagonales, appelé, DDC, qui ne flambent pas en compression fournissant ainsi un mécanisme de dissipation d'énergie stable. La capacité de dissipation de l'énergie sismique des DDC est fortement reliée à la performance du mécanisme de retenue du flambement qui prévient le noyau ductile interne de subir une déformation latérale excessive. La force transmise au système de confinement dépend de plusieurs facteurs qui doivent évalués avec précision et intégré lors de la conception.
