| Abstract |
In this study, joining method and shape of tensile brace dampers having excellent energy dissipation capacity are developed. The shape of the developed dampers is square. The joining method is that the brace and damper are combined by nuts. This damper system is applicable to single- or two-story steel structures. When seismic force inflicts on this system, impact energy is dissipated by mainly square dampers having the appointed seismic performance. The structure leads to a ductile failure of tensile braced frame compared to brittle one of common frame. The seismic performance was analyzed by using load-displacement curves. |
