Cumulative Ductility and Hysteretic Behavior of Small Buckling-Restrained Braces

Cumulative ductility is defined as a ratio of total energy to elastic energy which is dissipated by an element of the structural system during cyclic loading. An element of the structural system is categorized hysteretic if the cumulative ductility factor fulfills certain criteria. This study invest...
