Utilizing Low Yield Point Steel to Improve the Behavior of the I-Shaped Shear Links as Dampers

Concentrically braced frame (CBF) systems are susceptible to buckling (which causes a decrease in energy absorption), although this system has considerable lateral stiffness and strength. To over shortcoming, researchers have suggested the use of I-shaped steel dampers as practical idea that prevents increases absorption but reduces system. increase damper, thickness web or flange can be increased, by increasing their shear capacity damper also increases. Nevertheless, with forces created elements outside will increase, which is usually not suitable solution. Therefore, paper, low yield point for plate an proposed compensate it. Accordingly, its behavior investigated parametrically numerically requires equations design proposed. Results indicated utilizing LYP improves case absorption, stiffness, Comparing conventional (made A36 steel) reveals both pertain stable hysteresis loops without any degradation, confirms capability dissipate seismic energy. Although properties contribute load-bearing more affected than concluded contribution strength ignorable at beginning imposed loading.
