3. Introduction
• The concept of Buckling
Restrained Braces developed
in Japan by NIPPONS STEEL in
1980’s.
• It is designed to allow
1. Cyclic lateral loads on building
2. Earth quake induced loads
7. Why we use BRBF?
• This structure has high stiffness & high
ductility.
• It yields in both compression and tension
• (no buckling).
• It is a safe guard for building under lateral
loadings coming from earthquake forces.
• This can be moulded by using parameters
like storey drift & base shear.
10. Characteristics
• It prevents the members from
buckling.
• It illustrates the envelope of
hysteresis curve.
• It acts as a back bone of curve.

20. Advantages
• It is easy to erect.
• Mostly used in seismic retro-fittings.
• It is an alternative for Specially
Concentrically Braced Frame.
• When compared to SCBF, BRBF is
economical.
25. It minimises the Earth Quake intensity On
the structure.
Using BRBF, will be a great step adopted
by the Civil Enginners during Earthquake.
