Investigating modeling approaches of buckling-restrained braces under cyclic loads

The Main purpose of this paper is to present a practical method for accurate modeling and provide a simple model of buckling restrained braces (BRBs). The components of a BRB were introduced. Furthermore, two complete experimental specimens of BRBs were modeled using the ABAQUS finite element method...
