Design of and Experimental Research on a New Type of Steel Damper


Abstract eng:
The design of and the experimental research on a new-invented steel damper applied to seismic resistance of bridge structure were introduced in this paper. The damper, a non-uniform mild steel cylinder, with a set of accessories, provides comparatively big damping force and stroke, either biaxial or uniaxial. Its hysteretic energy consuming and low-cycle fatigue life were proved through a series of full-scaled tests. Further discussions were carried out on the design and properties of the damper as well as the material.
