The paper describes a new dissipation device that can be used to preserve the structural integrity of civil engineering structures under seismic loads. The proposed device is made in aluminum and dissipates energy through the hysteretic behavior and the local plasticization. It is a very simple device with a low cost of production. The proposed dissipator has been tested using a monotonic type of experiment in order to define its main characteristics, then its dynamic characteristic behavior has been obtained through some tests on a 3D shaking table. The frame has been subjected to a series of accelerograms allowing to determine the dynamic behavior of the shear panels under severe work conditions, and to assess the efficiency of the device.
