Abstract
The hysteretic behavior of buckling inhibited braces (BIBs) (or unbonded braces) made of low yield strength steel is investigated experimentally. Test results from four large-scale specimens showed that the BIB is able to prevent early buckling and cracking that occur in conventional braces and develop to the full capacity the strength, ductility, and energy-dissipation capacity of the steel used. In addition, the use of low yield strength steel results in small yield deformation and dramatic strain hardening of the BIB. Earthquake simulation tests of a 0.4-scale three-storey ductile concentrically braced frame (DCBF), which employed low yield strength steel BIBs as concentric braces, were carried out. Test results verified the applicability of the BIB and the high seismic performance of the DCBF. The idea of controlled plastification worked well. In addition, both the 70% lateral-force distribution requirement of the Uniform Building Code and the 30% lateral-force distribution requirement of CAN/CSA-S16.1-94 seem unnecessary for a DCBF system.Key words: concentrically braced frames, earthquake-resistant structures, braces, steel structures.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
