Abstract:The three‐segment steel panel damper (TSPD) is a type of shear panel damper (SPD) used for dissipating seismic energy. TSPDs consist of an inelastic core (IC) and two outer elastic joints (EJs), with the IC having a weaker shear strength than the EJs. Buckling restraining stiffeners delay shear buckling, and end stiffeners stabilize the IC to facilitate force transfer. However, the fabrication of TSPDs may be costly due to the use of built‐up shapes. This prompted the investigation of a more cost‐effective opt… Show more
