Key Short Comings of Modern Seismic Design Throw-away technology: Structure and Architecture absorbs energy through damage Large Inter-story Drifts: Result in architectural & structural damage High Accelerations: Result in content damage & loss of function Deformed Section – Eccentric Braced Frame
New System Develop a new structural building system that employs self-centering rocking action and replaceable* fuses to provide safe and cost effective earthquake resistance. Shear Fuse Post-tensioning *Key Concept – design for repair
Controlled Rocking System Component 3 – Replaceable energy dissipating fuses take majority of damage Component 2 – Post-tensioning strands bring frame back down during rocking Component 1 – Stiff braced frame, designed to remain essentially elastic - not tied down to the foundation.

Controlled Rocking System Test at E-Defense (2009) • Large (2/3 scale) frame assembly • Validation of dynamic response and simulation • Proof-of-Concept • construction details • re-centering behavior • fuse replacement • Collaboration & Payload Projects
Conclusions • The controlled rocking system exhibits excellent self-centering and energy dissipating response. All indicators show that the system is constructable and viable for practice. • The controlled rocking system will reduce life cycle costs by reducing structural repair costs after an earthquake. • Butterfly steel plate shear fuses, tested at Stanford University, were able to sustain cyclic deformations as large as 25% shear strain or more and still absorb seismic energy. • Half scale tests at University of Illinois are in progress. Tests A1, A2, and A3 are complete. More tests to come. • Two-thirds scale shake table tests on a planar frame at E-Defense next summer will further validate system performance. • Design recommendations will be develoeped to allow implementation in practice.
