This study explores the use of buckling-restrained aluminum shear-yielding panels (BRASYPs) as energy-dissipation devices. These are integrated into exoskeletons designed for sustainable interventions. A retrofit strategy was defined for a school building employing exoskeletons integrating BRASYPs. A displacement-based retrofit strategy was applied and validated through nonlinear time-history analyses. Results confirm the effectiveness of the intervention: the peak inter-story drift ratio remains below the collapse-prevention limit, and devices dissipate energy according to design.

Abstract
This study explores the use of buckling-restrained aluminum shear-yielding panels (BRASYPs) as energy-dissipation devices. These are integrated into exoskeletons designed for sustainable interventions. A retrofit strategy was defined for a school building employing exoskeletons integrating BRASYPs. A displacement-based retrofit strategy was applied and validated through nonlinear time-history analyses. Results confirm the effectiveness of the intervention: the peak inter-story drift ratio remains below the collapse-prevention limit, and devices dissipate energy according to design.File in questo prodotto:
