Experimental and Numerical Study of Buckling Restrained Bracing Behavior with Combined Steel and Polyamide Sheath

One of the most widely used system resisting against lateral loads in the design and retrofit of concrete and steel structures is steel bracing. One of the methods developed by the researchers is the use of confining members to prevent general buckling of bracing and reducing the effects of it. In t...
