ABSTRACT: The reliability assessment and design method of steel buckling-restrained braced frame (BRBF)
needs to be studied deeply for practical use. In this paper, inter-story and roof drift of the structure are chosen as
the damage indexes to assess the reliability of the structural system. By combining the equivalent linearization
method with extensi ...
