Perhaps one of the most common configurations among braced frames. It can be used in all types of structures and integrated to virtually any kind of material. Connexions can be applied to concrete, wood or steel structures. They can cover one or two floors.
Our state of the art R&D and testing laboratory has a number of testing capabilities. A two axis shake table allows for testing of models and concepts at accelerations up to 2Gs, while our full size test rigs allow for testing of specimens of varying types and operating mechanisms and large response force magnitudes e.g. 1,500kn (325kip).
Rotational friction dampers for use in seismic force resisting systems, specifically tension bracing has been used for more than 30years. The technology has proved useful and economical in a number of applications and most applications are in long braced spans such as those found in industrial buildings (e.g. Boeing Assembly plant) or in water towers (e.g. Beaux Arts Washington).
