DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONNECTION OF A BUCKLING RESTRAINED BRACE USING PIPE-LSB BY WOODEN FRAME CONSTRUCTION

In the previous research, buckling restrained braces (BRBs) were developed using round steel bars, steel tubes, and steel material for core members, buckling-restraining members, and spacers. But changing the length of these BRBs is difficult. Therefore, in this study, we developed a connection of BRBs using Pipe-LSB and round steel bar cores by a wooden frame construction which can easily change the length of BRBs. We examined the connection and the result showed that it achieved its target value.
