Abstract
The paper describes the testing and design of tapered-steel cantilevers used as energy dissipating devices, manufactured from either round bar or plate, which can be used in isolation systems to protect buildings or bridge decks against earthquake attack. The steel cantilever energy absorber is a simple device which can be manufactured from steel supplies normally available in an engineering stores using standard engineering practice.Keywords
