Hysteretic Bracing System E-PAD

The seismic isolation of buildings is becoming more and more a reliable and validated technology, on new structures and also on existing structures that require structural retrofit.

Freyssinet Products Company Italia in this regard has developed a wide range of products, including the dissipative bracing instability prevented, E-PAD.

These devices, conveniently located in strategic points of the structure, are able to ensure, using the axial hysteretic deformation of a stainless steel bar (steel with high ductility), high dissipative capacity and to give the structure a whole, a good seismic capacity.
