Buckling Restrained Braces can not only express the strength considered at the time of design, but also reduce the seismic load by energy dissipation according to the plastic behavior after yield deformation of the steel core. The physical characteristics and damping effect may be different according to the buckling prevention method of the steel core by the lateral restraint element. Accordingly, in this study, To compare hysteresis characteristics, Specimen(BRB-C) filled with mortar, specimen(BRB-R) combined with a buckling restraint ring and Specimen(BRB-EP) filled with engineering plastics was fabricated, and a cyclic loading test was performed. As a result of the cyclic loading test, the maximum compressive strength, cumulative energy dissipation and ductility of each test specimen was similar. But in case of the cumulative energy dissipation and ductility, BRB-C filled with the mortar specimen showed the lowest. This is considered to be because the gap between the steel core and the reinforcing material for plastic deformation was not uniformly formed by pouring mortar around the core part.

This study is conducted to verify the seismic reinforcement effects of internally inserted buckling-restrained braces supported laterally by buckling-restrained rings for the seismic reinforcement of existing reinforced concrete buildings with non-seismic details. First, to evaluate the performance of KDS, the hysteretic characteristics of buckling-restrained braces are verified, and it is discovered that they satisfy the conformance criteria of the displacement-dependent damping device. Three full-scale, two-story reinforced concrete framework specimens are prepared to verify the seismic reinforcement effects, and the proposed buckling-restrained braces are bolstered with single diagonal and V-shaped braces to be compared with non-reinforced specimens. By performing a comparison with non-reinforced specimens that present intensive shear cracks at the bottom of first-floor columns, it is revealed that the maximum load and energy dissipation of specimens reinforced with the proposed buckling restrained braces, in which the structural damage extends evenly throughout the system, are approximately 4 and 6.2 times higher, respectively, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed seismic reinforcement method.

Beam bracing is applied to prevent the relative displacement of the top and bottom flanges or to effectively control the twisting of the section, and the lateral stability of the beams are provided by lateral bracing, torsional bracing or a combination of both. Modular steel I-girders are laterally interconnected by torsional bracings that are installed to increase the resistance to lateral torsional buckling. In this paper, numerical parametric study was carried out by varying the crossbeam web height to examine the effects of the web torsional stiffness. Three-dimensional finite-element analysis using the commercial finite element software ABAQUS was obtained for the parametric numerical analyses of a series of feasible two-girder models, and the failure mode, lateral-torsional buckling strength and the moment-displacement behavior of the main girders was determined.

Since 1990’s, many researches about ultra high performance concrete have been conducted. Compare to conventional concrete, it shows significantly high compressive and tensile strength so that leads to reduce the self weight of structures. However, the use of slender member may meet the buckling failure that is not common phenomenon in concrete structures so far. Most design codes have not suggested any provisions for buckling limit states and very few of researches have been conducted for buckling of concrete girders. In this study, a number of finite element analysis were carried out to investigate the buckling behavior of UHPC I-shaped girders.

This study aims to give a brief summary of the development in the series of studies that have been made regarding the lateral-torsional buckling (LTB) capacity of beam spans with increased cross section at one end, also known as singly stepped beam (SSB), and at both ends, also known as doubly stepped beam (DSB). A three-dimensional program ABAQUS was used to analyze buckling through finite element method, while a statistical regression program MINITAB was used in developing and proposing simple design equations. The following topics discussed in this study include: (1) proposed design equation that account for change in cross section of stepped beams under uniform moment; (2) proposed design equation, with a corresponding moment gradient factor equation, of stepped beams under general loading conditions; (3) proposed design equation for stepped beam with continuous top flange lateral bracing; (4) proposed design equation for monosymmetric stepped beam subjected to uniform moment and to general loading conditions; (5) effect of inelastic buckling of stepped beams subjected to pure bending and general loading conditions considering combined effects of residual stress and geometrical imperfection; and (6) determination of LTB strength of monosymmetric stepped beam by conducting destructive test of subjecting a beam to concentrated load. The summary presented provides researchers information in understanding the subject matter; moreover, this provides a meaningful contribution to futures researches.

Beam string structures(BSS) are one kind of efficient structure system because the bending moment in the beams is reduced greatly through the struts and the strings. As the struts in BSS are used as middle supports to the beam and always in compression, the buckling of the struts should be avoided. This paper investigates the lateral buckling of the struts in BSS. Firstly, the strut of a one-strut BSS is simplified into an analytical model by considering load is formulated and some special cases of the model are analyzed. Finally, the lateral buckling load of the strut is numerically examined by means of parameter studies. It is known that, because on end of the struts is jointed to the beam while the other end is connected to the strings, the buckling of the struts not only depends on the length of the struts and the stiffness of the joints, but also depends on the rise and the lateral stiffness of the beam, the layout of the strings and the number of the struts.

The reinforcement effect of buckling resistance steel damper on member with two-column and beam is evaluated by investigating the relationship of lateral load and displacement

The reinforcement effect of buckling resistance steel damper on member with two-column and beam is evaluated by investigating the relationship of lateral load and displacement.

The four buckling resistance steel dampers were tested under cyclic lateral load to investigate the relationship of lateral load and displacement. The main variables are the existence of cover plate for preventing from buckling of out-of-plane and thickness of sim plate with 3.2 mm, 4.5 mm and 7.0 mm. The test showed that steel damper with cover plate had the wider area of its hysteresis loop than that of without.
