摘要
In order to satisfy fatigue performance requirements of High Performance Seismic Dampers (HPSDs), which are expected to withstand Level 2 earthquakes three times without being replaced, a low-cycle fatigue experiment was carried out to address fatigue life problems about steel Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs). The results of fatigue tests under the constant and variable amplitude loadings show that all the specimens have good fatigue performance and the toe-finished method can effectively improve the fatigue performance of BRBs with relatively small strain amplitudes. But the BRB's fatigue performance is affected by the in-plane gap width between filler members and the restraining member, which is verified by the comparative tests. Finally, fatigue curves are compared between these full-scale BRB tests and material tests presented in references.
