The Use of the Energy Dissipating Restraint for Seismic Hazard Mitigation
暂无分享,去创建一个
This paper describes the mechanical operation and presents parametric studies for the Energy Dissipating Restraint (EDR). The EDR is a strongly self-centering passive friction-based seismic energy dissipator with a wide range of hysteretic behaviors. In the behaviors of most interest in seismic design, the slip load is proportional to displacement. Typically the EDR would be installed in a building as part of the bracing system which resists seismically induced lateral forces.
