Steel dissipating braces for upgrading existing building frames
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to investigate how the dynamic response of an existing r.c. single storey frame may be upgraded by using different types of steel bracing dissipating system. The dissipating bracing system is composed of steel braces in series with an energy dissipation device that is either a high damping rubber pad (HDRD) or a shape memory alloy wire assemblage (SMAD), both characterised by a hysteretic behaviour. Many tests have been performed by the authors, both in free and in forced vibration, to completely understand the behaviour of the equipped systems by the use of simple testing techniques in a wide range of frequency and displacement amplitude, in order to simulate the frequency content of an earthquake excitation.
