Energy-Dissipating Replaceable Fuse Elements for Steel Beam-Column Connection
Implementing Organization
Structural Engineering Research Centre (SERC)
About
The technology helps to retrofit the steel buildings after severe earthquake, which is not possible with the existing systems. Hence, the user will prefer to adopt the present technology as it ensures occupants safety during severe earthquake and reduces financial burden by reuse of buildings. Further, this technology also has the potential to enhance the performance of existing buildings against the severe earthquake.
Outcome / Output
Simple and easy to design
, Links act as fuse and be the primary energy dissipating system in SMRFs during strong earthquake shaking
, Damage is confined within the fuse links
, Reduced cost of repair after strong earthquakes with no considerable increase in initial cost
, Damaged fuse links - easy to identify and replace
