Abstract

The 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake caused the breakage of wiring fittings including pole bands that anchored a spring-type tensioning devices. To reduce the breakage risk of the pole bands, we proposed a pin-connected yoke as an alternative to the conventional triangle-shaped rigid yoke, which can reduce lateral load transferred from the tensioning device. A prototype of the pin-connected yoke demonstrated 20% to 50% load reduction compared to the conventional one in a static loading test.
