Rad - Innovative Energy Dissipation Device
This device is constructed by utilizing standard stainless-steel plates and bolts without any welded joints which provides a device with lower constructional complexity. The performance of this new device is evaluated through the numerical and experimental investigations in which the optimal geometric configuration of the energy dissipation device is achieved by conducting multiple numerical analyses.
Rad Inc. provides Energy Dissipation Device for Seismic Protection of Engineering Structures to reduce the cost of structures for any applications at any dimension from small to very large to mega structures.
Additional application of our EDD sensory system is preventive maintenance against soil settlement. Soil settlement may cause to changes in the geometry of the building structure. These changes at the very preliminary stage could be diagnosed and monitored by our sensory system. When EDD alarms the corrective action to prevent foundation movement and soil settlement must be taken.
Rad Inc has introduced a novel energy dissipation device that has a lower constructional cost compared to previously developed devices and prepares acceptable levels of stiffness, damping, and ductility.
The overall performance of the device in the experimental and numerical testing processes proved that the proposed device is capable of increasing the energy dissipation levels of structural systems.
