CROSS BRACING FOR DISSIPATING THE ENERGY PRODUCED BY EARTHQUAKES

The invention relates to a cross-bracing for dissipating the energy produced by earthquakes, which leads to the diminution of the vibration effects and to the increase of the structural safety of a building. According to the invention, the device comprises a central element (A) and two other elements (B) which are attached to a structure, the joining between said elements and the central element (A) is achieved by means of other elements (C) which are inserted through some holes (a) cut into some elements (2) of the central element (A) and of energy-dissipating elements (B), respectively, the latter (B) achieving the dissipation of the energy by means of other elements (3). Invenţia se referă la o contravântuire pentru disiparea energiei produse de cutremure, ceea ce are drept urmare diminuarea efectelor vibraţiilor şi creşterea siguranţei structurale a unei clădiri. Dispozitivul conform invenţiei este compus dint-un element (A) central şi din alte două elemente (B) care sunt ataşate de o structură, îmbinarea dintre acestea şi elementul (A) central fiind realizată prin intermediul altor elemente (C), care sunt introduse prin nişte găuri (a) practicate în nişte elemente (2) ale elementului (A) central şi, respectiv, în ale elementelor (B) de disipare a energiei, aceste ultime elemente (B) amintite realizând disiparea energiei prin intermediul unor alte elemente (3).
