Abstract:
The paper presents the whole dataset obtained during an experimental test campaign executed on the prototype of a new re-centering dissipative device, characterized by an asymmetric behavior, for the seismic protection of buildings. The experimental tests were performed on two different configurations: on the single prototype of the device (configuration 1) and one in which two prototypes are placed within a steel frame in an inverted V bracings configuration (configuration 2). The experimental tests were executed in displacement control, applying cyclic loading histories. Data are mainly reported in terms of force-displacement cyclic curves for the single prototype in the configuration 1 and for the whole braced system in the configuration 2.
