In-Depth Information
Static and shacking table characterization
tests have been performed to determine the ex-
perimental behavior of the device. The tests have
been performed on 20 kN and 40 kN devices
with and without the central aluminum plate. The
results showed the effectiveness of the device
in dissipating the seismic energy, following the
design prescriptions imposed in the optimization
procedure.
