Coupling-beam Damper (CBD)

Coupling-beam Damper (CBD) - CBD Introduction

CBD Introduction

Installed at coupling beams to replace conventional reinforced-concrete coupling beams in coupled shear-wall systems. It greatly improves ductility and energy dissipation and can be designed as metal-yield or friction-type dampers.

CBD Introduction 2

CBD can be designed as bending-yield, shear-yield, combined bending-shear, plate-friction, or tube-friction forms. It features controllable yield capacity, easy replacement after earthquakes, no occupation of usable space, and good seismic performance.
