This GHR Complex study proposes a new tension member with a buckling-free function using carbon fiber reinforced polymer for the seismic bracing system.Firstly, the concept of the composite brace; a partially fibred carbon fiber reinforced polymer brace, is introduced.Secondly, the material strength of the composite brace molded by modified pultrusion is investigated.

Finally, cyclic loading tests to simulate the seismic loading are conducted.As a result, it was demonstrated that a seismic brace system using the composite brace can provide buckling prevention and plastic deformation performance Record Cleaning Cloth to absorb vibration energy.
