Abstract EN
A passive damper with a wire-woven bulk Kagome truss design was recently developed; its applicability as a passive damper to improve the seismic performance of building systems, including shear hysteresis behavior, energy dissipation capacity, and fatigue, was confirmed by material tests.
The Kagome truss, a periodic cellular metal type, is composed of evenly distributed helical wires with a constant pitch and helical radius in six directions.
The purpose of this study was to develop a new passive damper system for seismic strengthening of existing reinforced concrete (RC) frames.
The proposed external connection methodology uses a wire-woven bulk Kagome truss (i.e., a Kagome damper external connection (KDEC) system), to dissipate earthquake energy using the dynamic interaction among an existing building, a support structure, and the Kagome damper installed between them.
Four test specimens were designed and then strengthened with the KDEC system.
Cyclic loading and pseudodynamic tests were conducted; lateral load-carrying capacity, deformation, and hysteresis characteristics were investigated, as well as the maximum response strength, response ductility, and earthquake damage degree, and compared to a control sample.
Test results revealed that the KDEC system effectively dissipated the earthquake energy, showing considerable resilience under large-scale earthquake conditions.
