| contents | Experimental behavior of a low-cost seismic energy dissipation device Héctor Guerrero Emmanuel Zamora J. Alberto Escobar Roberto Gómez Ingeniería buckling passive dissipation restrained braces (BRBs) seismic energy dissipation device experimental test under seismic loads Safety during earthquakes should be a human right and shall be accessible not only to those who can pay for proprietary high-tech devices but to everyone. Based on that, this study has been developed with the intention of helping to improve the seismic safety in the developing world. Within this paper, a low-cost, low-tech seismic energy dissipation device is proposed. Its experimental behavior under seismic loading is assessed. The device type is buckling-restrained brace (BRB) and, according to its characteristics, it is suitable for new and existing, medium- to low-rise structures. First, the device characteristics and fabrication process are presented. Then, its structural response, in terms of the hysteretic behavior, ductility, and dissipated energy - as obtained from experimental tests - is shown. Experimental results show an excellent behavior of the proposed device. As a result, it can be said that the device is reliable and its use is recommended for new, and retrofitting/upgrading existing, structures. Design recommendations are also provided. 2020 artículo científico 0185-092X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=61866767004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/618/61866767004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/618/61866767004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/618/61866767004/61866767004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/618/61866767004/movil 10.18867/ris.102.507 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=618 Revista de Ingeniería Sísmica application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Ingeniería Sísmica Revista de Ingeniería Sísmica (México) Num.102 |
