A pioneer in structural and seismic engineering in the United States, Star Seismic constructs Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB), for the premier structural lateral system, Buckling Restrained Braced Frames. This system is used in buildings and other structures for superior performance in seismic events. Buckling-restrained braces provide better performance using fewer braces, fewer and smaller connections, smaller beams, columns, and foundations, for significant cost and schedule savings for the project. Our passion for structural engineering is shown through our performance. In addition to expertise in BRB's our engineering teams have exhaustive experience in construction, steel fabrication, building and connection design and design-build project management. Star Seismic™ BRB-specific patents include US 6837010, 7065927 and rights to 7188452
