Why to upgrade traditional systems? The FEMA P-58-1 listed some of the limitations in present-generation procedures:
Questions regarding the accuracy and reliability of available analytical procedures in predicting actual building response.
“High” level of conservatism underlying the acceptance criteria.
Inability to reliably and economically apply performance-based procedures to the design of new buildings; and
Lack of alternative ways of communicating performance to stakeholders that is more meaningful and useful for decision making purposes.
Performance based design (PBD) emerges as the methodology aiming to bridge this gap, raising the design level performance from life safety (traditional systems) to keep structures fully functional after strong EQ.
What is a traditional Structural Fuse?Structural element where inelastic deformation (damage) is intentionally concentrated.Preferably, disposable and easy to repair structural element.
Remain elastic when subjected to considerably large deformations
Hysteresis Hyperelastic
Why Hyperelasticity?No inelastic deformations, and thus no residual drifts / Resiliency
Fuse initial sketch
Hyperelastic Fuse
The internal elements have an small initial skew that assures that the elements’ buckling path remains through the cycles.
What is a Hyperelastic System?
Target Buildings
How did we address these issues?
The target behavior is represented as follow.
Where: fe = elastic buckling load Ductility = ration between the displacement needed to close the fuse’s gap and the buckling displacement
Alpha1 = ratio between the secondary and initial stiffness
Alpha2 = ratio between the third and initial stiffness
How does this response (displacement and acceleration)
Using the FEMA P-58 report the respeonse can be associated with fragility levels, which will be useful to compare performance outcomes between strucrures with traditional and hyperelastic fuses.

It is vital to 3D print fuse samples to investigate geometric sensitivities, and define and analyze the elastic buckling mode (internal elements of the fuse).

For 3-story buildings, a ductility higher than 15 is needed to equal the force level on both systems (Hyst. vs Hyper)
