چکیده

Attributable to the fact that the buckling-restrained brace core yields both in tension and compression, it can absorb energy and exhibit high ductility rendering it proper in order to tolerate earthquick loads.. One of the vital objectives of seismic standards is providing the appropriate ductility for the structures, because the structures, in case of being ductile, can depreciate a considerable amount of earthquake energy. According to the importance of the issue, the present study makes use of cumulative ductility parameter as a scale that is practically applied to describe the plasticity demand of the buckling restrained brace (BRB) member in order to investigate the cyclic behavior of the braces and buckling restrained braced frames (BRBF). To this end, nonlinear time history analysis was run on three steel buckling restrained braced frames in three different height rates, namely ۵-story, ۱۰-story and ۱۵-story, subject to seven earthquake records in OpenSees Software. In consonance to the results of the analysis, hysteretic curves were delineated for the stories and cumulative ductility demand and hysteresis energy parameters were calculated for each obtained curves. The results indicated that the cumulative ductility demand distributions of the stories of the buckling restrained braced frames, designed corresponding to AISC۳۶۰ guidelines are not identical and that higher ductility demands were scored for the upper stories. The stories with more cumulative ductility demand should be redesigned for larger brace cross-sections, although, in terms of strength, the cross-sectional area of the bracing does not require to be larger.
