Title:
A-FRAME SHEAR ASSEMBLY FOR WALLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003016644
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Lateral motion devices are used in conjunction with shear assemblies (100) to further dissipate shear forces on buildings. In one embodiment, the lateral motion device is interposed between the shear assembly and the upper portion (142) of the wall to permit relative motion therebetween and to absorb and dissipate a portion of the shear forces through expansion and/or compression of spring members. In another embodiment, the lateral motion device is interposed between the foundation (130) and the bottom of the shear assembly and in yet another embodiment, the lateral motion device is embedded in the foundation so as to be interposed between the anchor bolt and the foundation. The shear assembly can be either a panel assembly or an A-frame assembly (120).
