Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020035822A1] A control structure comprising a pivotably based rocker frame assembly integral with rotary yield units able to produce a constant resistive yield force through high elasto-plastic displacements and high ductilities. Located within and distributed about the rotary yield units are flexural yield plates with particular boundary conditions enabling them to elasto-plastically flex to high cycling elasto-plastic displacements and high displacement and curvature ductilities, while maintaining a constant resistive yield force. The constant resistive yield force produced by the replaceable rotary units enables the control structure to resist and endure extreme seismic events (base motion input) with a constant resistive yield force, while plastic curvatures within the yield zones of the flexural plates of the rotary units are maintained well within their capacity; and forces within the control structure, within its supporting foundations, and within masses or other structures it is seismically supportive of are controlled and limited.
