Tubular-section members are commonly used as seismic-resistant braces because they have a higher moment of inertia than open cross sections of equivalent area. However, the cumulative cyclic deformation capacity of tubular sections after buckling is smaller than that of open sections, such as H-shaped sections, because fracture is initiated by local buckling of circular tubular sections. To evaluate the seismic performance of such diagonal braces, it is essential to predict the cumulative cyclic deformation capacity of these braces before any fracturing. In this study, the cumulative cyclic deformation capacity of circular tube braces under local buckling was assessed by performing cyclic loading tests for a range of slenderness and diameter-to-thickness ratios. The mechanism of strain concentration in the tubular braces was studied in various types of analysis, and a method is proposed for assessing the cumulative deformation capacity before fracture based on the entire axial deformation of the braces.
