The paper presents a dissipation device that can be used to preserve the structural integrity of civil engineering structures subjected to seismic loads. The proposed device is a shear panel made of aluminium and steel, which dissipates energy through the hysteretic behaviour and the local plasticization. It is a very simple device having the advantage of a low cost of production. The proposed shear panel has been tested using a monotonic type of experiment that has led to optimise its design and to define its main characteristics, then its dynamic behaviour has been obtained through some tests on a 3D shaking table. A frame with these devices has been subjected to a series of accelerograms to determine its response under ground motions of different intensities and to assess their efficiency.

Abstract
The paper presents a dissipation device that can be used to preserve the structural integrity of civil engineering structures subjected to seismic loads. The proposed device is a shear panel made of aluminium and steel, which dissipates energy through the hysteretic behaviour and the local plasticization. It is a very simple device having the advantage of a low cost of production. The proposed shear panel has been tested using a monotonic type of experiment that has led to optimise its design and to define its main characteristics, then its dynamic behaviour has been obtained through some tests on a 3D shaking table. A frame with these devices has been subjected to a series of accelerograms to determine its response under ground motions of different intensities and to assess their efficiency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
