It serves two purposes, firstly, the EPS is a ductile material, which is favourable in terms of seismic performance and, secondly, the outer construction material has better corrosion resistance.}, abstract={Thus, the life of the steel core can be prolonged. In this study, 6 BRB specimens were prepared, of which 3 BRB specimens were infilled with concrete and the remaining 3 BRB specimens with concrete and EPSs, in order to study their performance under cyclic loading. Three different core heights, all with the same core thickness, were adopted. The test results indicate that the load-carrying capacity of this novel BRB is higher than the conventional BRB. Further, the length of the steel tube also affects the strength of the seismic disaster mitigation system.}, abstract={Lastly, a numerical study on a single bay RC frame, with and without BRB subjected to time history analysis, was conducted to check the global performance of this novel system. It was found that the structural responses had substantially decreased.}, type={artykuł}, title={Seismic performance evaluation of a proposed buckling-restrained brace for RC-MRFS}, keywords={disasters seismic, disasters mitigation, buckling restrained brace, EPS, local buckling, local test, RC frame, OpenSees, katastrofy sejsmiczne, skutki katastrof, stabilizator zwalniający, wyboczenie, test obciążenia, Rama RC}, }
