Coupling Beam Damper

Coupling Beam Dampers

Coupling beam dampers are generally installed in the Coupling beams within shear walls. Utilizing the vertical deformation difference between the wall limbs on both sides enables the dampers to enter the yielding state for energy dissipation. Coupling beam dampers are small in size, have a strong energy dissipation capacity, are convenient to install, and have no impact on the building after completion. They can effectively solve the problem of limited installation positions for dampers in shear wall structures.

Coupling Beam Dampers

High bearing capacity.
Play an energy dissipation role under minor earthquakes.
After yielding under minor earthquakes, it can still maintain relatively large stiffness to provide a coupling effect.
Good ductility and hysteretic performance.
Additional damping under minor earthquakes can reduce wall thickness and overall cost in high-intensity areas.
The energy dissipation capacity is remarkable under major earthquakes, protecting the main structure.
