Abstract

The present invention relates to a nonlinear spring bracing device (10) for seismic protection of a braced structure, characterised by: a housing (11); a core (12) positioned in a middle of the housing (11); a pair of interior mounts (15), each disposed adjacent to the core (12); a pair of nonlinear springs, each having a first end attached to one of the pair of interior mounts (15) and a second end attached to a sidewall of the housing (11); a rod (14) passing through the pair of interior mounts (15) and the pair of nonlinear springs, the rod (14) being coupled to the core (12); means for connecting the nonlinear spring bracing device (10) to a brace (17); wherein a seismic load imposed to the braced structure being transferred to the nonlinear spring bracing device (10), displacing one of the pair of interior mounts (15) and compressing one of the pair of nonlinear springs in a direction opposite to a direction of the seismic load to counteract a force of the seismic load.
