Experimental Study of Buckling-Restrained Brace System with Pall-Typed Frictional Damper

Article Preview

Abstract:

In view of general braces of Pall-typed frictional damper will produce additional axial forces on side column in frame, considering the buckling-restrained braces(BRB) to replace the general braces to make the braces action fully, it would not generate the growth of additional axial forces on side columns, to settle basis for BRBs’ application in Pall friction damping brace system. Because hysteresis behaviors of the Pall-typed friction damper are not affected by brace buckling forces, this paper puts forward that the braces use the ordinary steel plate replacing BRB core plate to do Pall-typed frictional damping brace experimental research, meanwhile considering the geometric nonlinearity the finite element simulation analyses are done for this brace system in ANSYS software. The experimental results and simulation results show that the Pall friction force and brace forces’ variation rule is almost the same, and the brace force is almost the same.
