Keep in mind: Try to achieve a redundancy factor, = 1.0 See ASCE 7‐10, Section 12.3.4
Try to keep brace angles between 30‐60 degrees
BRBF only needs a single brace.

BRBF Design ProcedureIf Necessary…3. Design Iteration. SEoR reanalyzes
a) Finalize member sizes:i. BRB core area, Asc ii. BRB Stiffness (K) or Stiffness Factor, KFiii. Beam and Column Sizes
Typically, the sooner the BRB manufacturer is brought into the project, fewer iterations are done.

BRB Schedule and Notes
BRB SCHEDULE NOTES:
1. Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB) are to be tested per AISC 341‐10. BRB Manufacturer shall submit proof of each braces compliance with load and strain range.
2. Demand Strength, Pu, is the minimum code level available strength reqruied for the brace, using LRFD force levels. Where, Pu < Pysc = 0.9 Asc Fysc.
3. Fysc is the actual yield strength of the BRB core determined by coupon testing. a) Acceptable Range: 39 ksi < Fysc < 46 ksi. b) Charpy testing reqruied for core material 2” and thicker.
4. Brace Stiffness,
a) Acceptable range, ±10% b) KF & Asc are shown in the table abovec) Lwp‐wp is the work‐point to –work‐point length along the brace.
5. Brace elongation shall be calculated as the maximum story drift of either: 2% of the story height or 2x the design story drift.
6. Values shown for and are maximums and shall not be exceeded.

BRBF Beam‐Column‐Brace ConnectionsMoment Connections(b) The connection shall be designed to resist a
moment equal to the lesser of the following:i. A moment corresponding to the expected
beam flexural strength multiplied by 1.1 (LRFD) or by 1.1/1.5 (ASD), as appropriate. The expected beam flexural strength shall be determined as RyMp.
ii. A moment corresponding to the sum of expected column flexural strengths multiplied by 1.1 (LRFD) or by 1.1/1.5 (ASD), as appropriate. The sum of expected column flexural strengths shall be Σ(RyFyZ).
