Nonlinear Time-History Analysis of Seismic Performance of RC Frames Equipped with Buckling-Restrained Braces Versus Viscous Fluid Dampers
Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) and viscous fluid dampers (FVDs) dissipate seismic energy through yielding hysteresis and velocity-dependent action, respectively. This paper takes a six-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame as the object, compares the seismic mitigation performance of the two types of devices under a...
