Pin And Collar Connection Apparatus For Use With Seismic Braces, Seismic Braces Including The Pin And Collar Connection, And Methods

US Patent:
6837010, Jan 4, 2005
Filed:
Dec 5, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/310692
Inventors:
Steven D. Powell - Park City UT, US
Dennis F. Randall - Salina KS, US
Assignee:
Star Seismic, LLC - Park City UT
International Classification:
E04B 198
US Classification:
521673, 521671, 526551, 527391, 403217, 403174
Abstract:
A nonrigid connection apparatus includes a frame-side member securable to a steel structural frame, a brace-side member securable to a seismic brace, and a coupling element that nonrigidly secures the frame-side and brace-side members to each other. By way of example, the nonrigid connection element may provide a hinge-type connection, which substantially isolates a seismic brace from nonaxial loads. As another example, the nonrigid connection element may be a ball-and-socket type connection, which substantially isolates a seismic brace from nonaxial loads and absorbs any shear and moment applied thereto when the seismic brace drifts out of an intended plane of the steel structural frame. The nonrigid connection element may also include a collar to stabilize the brace-side member and prevent shears and moments from causing the same to buckle in an unintended direction. Methods of installing and using the nonrigid connection apparatus are also disclosed.
