The present invention generally relates to a self-centering energy dissipative brace apparatus. A bracing system is often needed to stabilize, strengthen or stiffen structures such as buildings which are subjected to severe or extreme conditions. The brace apparatus may be installed in a structure to dissipate input energy and minimize residual deformations related to exceptional loading imposed on the structure by winds, earthquakes, impacts or explosions. The apparatus integrates self-centering properties and energy. dissipative capacities which help minimize structural damage.
La présente invention se rapporte à un appareil formant entretoise à dissipation d'énergie et à centrage automatique. Un système de type entretoise est souvent nécessaire pour stabiliser, renforcer ou rigidifier des structures telles que des immeubles soumis à des conditions sévères ou extrêmes. L'appareil formant entretoise peut être installé dans ces structures dans le but de dissiper l'énergie subie et de minimiser les déformations résiduelles associées aux charges exceptionnelles subies par la structure sous l'action du vent, des tremblements de terre, des impacts ou des explosions. L'appareil présente des propriétés de centrage automatique et des capacités de dissipation d'énergie permettant de minimiser les dégâts occasionnés.
