Abstract

<p>In this paper, the passive control effect of BRBs in RC buildings subjected to earthquake ground motions is investigated by nonlinear time history analysis. In one model, the RC frame was braced by BRBs in each story (each model) and in the other one, each BRB spans over two stories (over model). The analysis results indicate that the over model exhibited almost the same passive control effect as compared to the 'each model', although the number of BRBs was significantly reduced and the RC beams in the braced span were abandoned.</p>
