BRB Energy Dissipation Device Design Analysis for Commercial Building Constructions

This work investigates, designs, and analyses Buckling Restrained Bracings (BRB) and appropriate positions within structures to minimize seismic damage. Additionally, this work discusses the optimal placements of BRB within buildings. An analytical study was performed on a G+7 commercial structure in order to determine the effects of various types of bracing on various parameters. Maximum Story Drift, Displacement, Shear, and Overturning Moment using E-tabs for frames without braces (traditional methods), steel core braces, and aluminium core braces. The results of this study were compared and contrasted with one another (Al-BRB). In the end, the findings were analyzed in order to determine the most effective application of BRB with regard to seismic performance. Steel Core BRBs enhance the structure's self-weight, hence the Light Weight BRB (LWBRB) can be used as a replacement. Replace the BRB's steel core with ductile aluminium. By utilizing the BRB, which has a reduced self-weight, we will be able to reduce the overall weight of the Buckling Restrained Braced Frame
