This paper reports on experimental studies carried out on a 200kN, 120mm-capacity prototype of the newly developed multidirectional torsional hysteretic damper for seismic protection of structures. The main goal of the experiments is to test the validity of the theory developed in a companion paper and to evaluate the low-cycle fatigue performance of the energy dissipaters of the damper. Because the design and configuration of the damper allow easy replacement of the energy dissipaters, four sets of energy dissipaters were produced out of S355J2+N, C45 (two sets), and 42CrMo4+QT steel grades. Force-displacement response of the multidirectional torsional hysteretic damper is studied through fully reversed cyclic quasi-static displacement-controlled tests that were carried out in compliance with EN 15129. Following the verification tests, with the aim of studying fatigue and fracture behavior of the cylindrical energy dissipaters of the device, certain numbers of them were subjected to further cyclic tests up to failure, and observations on their fatigue/fracture behavior are reported. The experimental verification test results proved the validity of the developed theory and component design assumptions presented in a companion paper. Furthermore, the energy dissipaters exhibited excellent torsional low-cycle fatigue performance with number of cycles to failure reaching 118 at a maximum shear strain of 8% for S355J2+N steel grade.

Systematic development of a new hysteretic damper based on torsional yielding: part I-design and development Milani, Ali Salem; Dicleli, Murat (2016-05-01) Analytical and experimental studies into the behavior of a new hysteretic damper, designed for seismic protection of structures is presented in two papers. Although the subject matter of the papers is a specific system, they are also intended as an illustration of practical application of diverse engineering tools in systematic development of an anti-seismic product. The Multi-directional Torsional Hysteretic Damper (MTHD) is a recently patented invention in which a symmetrical arrangement of identical cyli...

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF FIXED BASE AND ROCKING BUILDING FRAMES EQUIPPED WITH AN ENERGY DISSIPATION SYSTEM Özen, Hazal; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2023-3-06) In this study, the effect of columns with a rocking-base isolation system on enhancing the seismic performance of a reinforced concrete building is investigated. A compara- tive study comprising of comparisons of fixed-based and rocking-based systems with post-tensioning strands and free column ends is conducted. For analysis purposes, a reinforced-concrete building with shear walls was designed, modeled, and analyzed in ETABS software. Nonlinear boundary time history analysis (NTHA) was conducted by exposi...
