A　novel　self-centering　braced　double-column　rocking　bent　(SBRB)　consisting　of　a　double-column　rocking　bent　and　traditional　or　self-centering　energy　dissipation　braces　is　developed　analytically　and　numerically　to　enhance　the　seismic　resilience.　The　analytical　model　of　the　SBRB　is　established,　and　numerical　models　of　the　SBRB　are　built　to　evaluate　its　seismic　performance.　Numerical　results　indicate　that　the　SBRB　is　featured　by　prominent　seismic　performance　including　high　lateral　stiffness　and　strength,　stable　energy　dissipation　ability　and　good　self-centering　capability.　The　parameters　of　braces,　axial　force　ratio,　tendon　prestress,　and　confinement　play　significant　roles　in　the　seismic　responses　of　SBRB.
