Dinh-Hai Pham Alexis Rafael Ovalle Beato validate the system response. The DC-SCB was then replaced by the sandwiched buckling-restrained brace (SBRB) in a full-scale two-story frame, so the seismic performance of the DC-SCBF and the special mixed BRB braced frame (SMBF) that has both the DC-SCB and SBRB in a frame could be evaluated. The full-scale two-story DC-SCBF, SMBF and BRBF subassembly specimen performed well up to an interstory drift of 2% after multiple tests. Nonlinear time history analyses 20 were also performed on the prototype braced frames to obtain seismic demands. Abstract Traditional seismic resisting systems in a large earthquake can experience significant damage and residual drifts due to energy dissipation of some struc- (1) tural members, which leads to difficult or expensive (2) to repair after earthquakes. A steel dual-core self- centering brace (DC-SCB), which utilizes three steel bracing members, two friction devices, and two sets of tensioning elements that are in a parallel arrangement for doubling its axial deformation, has been proposed [1-3] SBRB and validated to provide b
