Rehabilitation of Steel Structure by Means of a Wedge Device
Abstract eng: A wedge device consisting of a wedge, a counter-wedge and a spring, is proposed by the authors. The device is applied to earthquake-resistant elements to provide more effective energy absorption under seismic ground motion. New structural elements are also proposed: a non-slip-type column base, a non-compression brace, a self-centering beam-to-column connection and a non-compression knee-brace. An experimental study has been carried out on these structural elements subjected to cyclic loadings to clarify their earthquake-resistant performance and applicability to rehabilitation.
