Engineering
Star Seismic's buckling restrained brace (BRB) simple 8-step design process:
- To ensure BRB appropriateness and engineering parameters, contact Star Seismic (435-940-9222)
- Analyze structure to determine brace strength
- Determine required brace stiffness by contacting Star Seismic for values
- Check drift
- Determine brace displacements at Delta m
- Review over-strength factors with Star Seismic
- Finalize brace strength and strand area
- Design beams, columns and connections for brace capacity
