A New Buckling-Restrained Brace with a Variable Cross-Section Core

In this paper, a new type of buckling-restrained brace characterized by a variable cross-section core (BRB-VCC) is proposed and investigated.The practical design equations of the BRB-VCC are derived based on mechanical and mathematical theories.Six specimens are designed and tested to clarify the mechanical behaviours of the BRB-VCC and to validate
