Experimental and Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis Data for an Innovative Buckling Restrained Bracing System to Rehabilitate Seismically Deficient Structures
This article presents experimental data and nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) modeling for an innovative buckling restrained bracing (BRB) system.The data were collected from qualification testing of introduced BRBs per the AISC 341 test provision and finite element modeling.The BRB is made of three parts: core bar, restraining unit, and en
