Energy DissipationEnergy DissipationEnergy DissipationEnergy DissipationEarthquake-resistant design has long relied on hysteretic energy dissipation to provide life-safety hysteretic energy dissipation to provide life safety level of protectionAdvantages of yielding steel
S bl i l i ll k i i Stable material properties well known to practicing engineersNot a mechanical device (no special maintenance)Reliable long term performance (resistance to aging)
For traditional structural systems, ductile behavior achieved by stable plastic deformation of structural achieved by stable plastic deformation of structural members = damage to those membersIn conventional structural configurations, serves life-safety purposes but translates into property loss safety purposes, but translates into property loss, and need substantial repairs

Structural FusesStructural Fuses
From Energy Dissipation to Structural FuseResearchers have proposed that hysteretic energy Researchers have proposed that hysteretic energy dissipation should instead occur in “disposable” structural elements (i.e., structural fuses)
