The invention relates to a nested U-shaped staged yield
damper, and belongs to the technical field of
structural engineering energy dissipation and shock absorption. The
metal damper is composed of two U-shaped energy dissipation parts which are nested in the same direction in the horizontal direction, a double-layer corrugated energy dissipation part, a
brass base plate and a steel
cushion block.According to the nested U-shaped staged yield
damper, the design concepts that staged yield is adopted, energy dissipation parts can be replaced, the shear
bearing capacity of the damper is improved,out-of-plane buckling is restrained, the
structural rigidity is improved, and various energy dissipation mechanisms work together and the like are applied, and the limitation of a traditional
metal damper is broken through. Staged yield is achieved through the nesting design of the U-shaped energy dissipation parts and the arrangement of the steel
cushion block. Meanwhile, the reasonably designeddamper has good shear
bearing capacity and energy dissipation performance, the normal use function can be recovered only by replacing the energy dissipation parts after an earthquake, and the economic benefit is obvious. The
metal damper develops towards the assembling direction, replacement is convenient, arrangement
modes are various, and the number of the metal dampers can be flexibly increased or decreased according to actual conditions.
