Seismic Energy Dissipater for a Primary Resistant Structure of a Construction

The invention relates to a seismic energy dissipater for the primary resistant structure of a construction, which can be installed in a structure as a traditional diagonal bar. In response to axial loading, the invention dissipates energy in a stable manner without buckling. The dissipater is formed by two or more telescopically arranged tubes connected at multiple connection points by means of welds or screws. Two rows of perforations are provided in the areas close to the connection points on the walls of the tubes, the number, shape and separating distance thereof determining the volume of plastic-coated steel and the axial stiffness and resistance of the dissipater. In addition, a larger perforation is provided at either end of the aforementioned two rows of perforations. The end of each tube is joined to the primary structure using plates. Optionally, springs can be provided inside the tubes.
