Research on seismic performance and design method of combined steel lead energy dissipation structur

A new combined steel lead damper(NCSLD)was presented.Construction and working mechanism of NCSLD were introduced,pseudo-static tests of the small size dampers which would be used in the subsequent shaking table tests were carried out for the study of mechanieal properties of NCSLD using electro-hydraulic servo press-shear machine.Processing technology of the damper was improved.Shaking table tests under two-dimeasional excitation on structural aseismic control of a one-story structure model were carried out using the small size NCSLD; parameters of the structure and shaking table were also introduced.Results indicate that process improvement is beneficial to the implementation of working mechanism of the damper,NCSLD has full hysteresis loop which takes on bilinearity,NCSLD has obvious energy dissipation effect and it can control structural seismic response effectively.
