Study on Seismic Performance of Unsymmetrical K-Type Friction Energy Dissipation Brace

Article Preview

Abstract:

The multi-storey reinforced concrete frame structure whose frame has been added with a kind of unsymmetrical K-type friction energy dissipation brace is taken as an example in this article. The time history analysis of different angles of unsymmetrical K-type friction energy dissipation brace and symmetrical K-type friction energy dissipation brace under the rare earthquake has been done by using the finite element software SAP2000. The analysis and comparison on the seismic performance shows that symmetrical K-type friction energy dissipation brace under certain conditions. Plan layout could be more flexible by using the result obtained which could become a reference for design in days to come.
