Buckling Restrained Braced Frame Application for a Power Plant
Publication: Structures Congress 2009: Don't Mess with Structural Engineers: Expanding Our Role
Abstract
Buckling Restrained Braced Frames (BRBFs) have shown their value in building structures for many years. The benefits include reducing seismic demand for all structural components, providing a predictable seismic demand and simplifying repair in the event of a large earthquake. The non-building structures community and the power plant design community, in particular, have generally not utilized the BRBF because of concerns including lateral drift and excessive non-linear displacement. This paper will explore the application of this system for non-building structures and will discuss a specific application for a coal fired power plant boiler building in an area of high seismic demand.
