- Abstract
To improve the self-centering and seismic reduction performance of seismic reduction braces, Magnesium alloy is used to replace the steel as core material of seismic reduction braces for the first time. Braces respectively with two different core material of steel and magnesium alloy are placed in a RC frame structure, its seismic response under frequent and rare earthquakes are analyzed and compared. Results show that both of the seismic reduction braces with two types of core material have an obvious impact on story shear force, displacement and residual deformation in the RC frame structure. Magnesium alloy seismic reduction braces have better performance than steel seismic reduction braces in reducing story drift and residual deformation in RC frame. Moreover, for magnesium alloy seismic reduction brace, its merit of self-centering ability is worthy of consideration for future research.
