Buckling Restrained Wall (BRW)

Buckling Restrained Wall (BRW) - BRW Introduction

BRW Introduction

A new energy-dissipation product using an energy-dissipating steel plate as the core lateral-force-resisting element. Buckling restraint devices prevent out-of-plane instability, providing large elastic lateral stiffness and strong energy dissipation under moderate and major earthquakes.

BRW Introduction 2

BRW can be used in steel or concrete structures, in both new construction and retrofit projects. It is convenient to install, helps accelerate construction, and offers good economy.
