Buckling Restrained Brace Subassemblage Testing
Our research group teamed up with Bluescope to test an innovative all-steel buckling restrained brace that they developed. A subassemblage test setup was used to show that the new brace satisfies the qualification criteria in the AISC Seismic Provisions.
