Building-Code Philosophy
Objective: Prevent collapse in the extremeearthquake likely to occur at a building site.
Objectives are not to:
limit damagemaintain functionprovide for easy repair

BRB Tests Short Summary
• About 50+ different brace tests have been performed in support of US projects
• All tests results so far have met Appendix T’s acceptance criteria
• Tests have included Appendix T, moment frame, near-field, and fatigue displacement protocols
• Kinematic rotations of brace ends were not detrimental to brace performance

Design Procedure
Define appropriate BRB modelingDetermine required brace strengthCheck drift Determine brace displacements at 2.0 Δm
Compare required displacements to existing testsPlan and conduct new tests?
Determine adjusted BRB strengths at 2.0 ΔmRequires test data or manufacturer’s summary
Calculate required strength of columns, beams, and connections based on adjusted BRB strengths

Code Issues
• BRB is a better brace that doesn't buckle.• BRB is a performance-specification item.• Single diagonals in one direction and stacked
chevron allowed without penalty.• BRB and gussets often need not be fireproofed.• If manufactured in approved shop, inspections
may be waived.• Non-structural attachments to casing not
prohibited.

Gusset Plate Design Issues
•Adjusted BRB strengths readily determined from backbone curve (first validation of methodology)
•Frame fixity must be acknowledged in analyses
•Recognize that cyclic testing of gusset plates not fully developed
•Avoid unnecessary connection restraint
