This article presents our award-winning methodology for the prediction of the fatigue life of CoreBrace BRBs. These results are specific to CoreBrace BRBs. This article was awarded the 2022 Best Paper for the ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering.
A quick reference for the engineer of record, these tables provide approximate stiffness modification factors (KFs) and casing sizes for typical Bolted BRB sizes in representative frame geometries. Values for single diagonal as well as chevron brace configurations are included in these tables.
