Experimental tests on Crescent Shaped Braces hysteretic devices
HighlightsCrescent Shaped Braces, CSBs.Steel hysteretic devices.Experimental campaign.Cyclic experimental behavior.Ductility capacity.Energy dissipation capacity.
AbstractCrescent Shaped Braces, CSBs, are steel hysteretic devices which, thanks to their geometrical configuration, are characterized by an enhanced seismic behavior that makes them a promising alternative to conventional diagonal steel braces and other seismic devices such as Buckling Resisting Braces and Scorpions. The present work reports the results of the first experimental campaign devoted to assess the cyclic experimental behavior of CSBs. The main goals of the experimental campaign are: (i) to verify/compare the effectiveness of design formulas for the seismic design of CSB introduced by the authors in a previous research work and the predictions of a simplified non-linear model in terms of force-displacement envelop response; (ii) to assess the experimental non-linear cyclic behavior in terms of ductility capacity, energy dissipation capacity, failures.
