Abstract
In case of a large earthquake, conventional RC structures absorb seismic energy by main frames. In order to secure property value of a building, buckling-restrained braces are used for RC structures. The buckling-restrained braces that the authors have developed, can simultaneously adjust yield strength and axial stiffness. The authors have also developed the new connection "stud-gusset plate" that can joint of the buckling-restrained braces to RC structures. In this paper, the design method for a damage-controlled RC structure using the buckling-restrained braces and the stud-gusset plate is proposed. Conducting a trial design according to the proposed design method, the validity of the design method is confirmed.
