Modular energy dissipation system for linking two structures in a linking direction, comprising a yielding energy dissipator (1) provided with at least two energy dissipation modules (15, 16) successively arranged along said linking direction, each module comprising a central strip (12; 12′), two sidelong strips (13; 13′) and a plurality of yielding elements (14; 14′) between the central strip and the sidelong strips, so that the central strip of a module located at one end of the dissipator is linked to one of the structures and the sidelong strips of this module are integrated with the central strip of the adjacent module, and the sidelong strips of the module located at the other end of the dissipator are linked to the other structure and the central strip of this module is integrated with the sidelong strips of the adjacent module.
A modular energy dissipation system for linking two structural members in a linking direction, comprising a yielding energy dissipator provided with a central strip, two sidelong strips and at least two yielding elements arranged at both sides of the central strip, between the central strip and the two sidelong strips, the dissipator further comprising at least two energy dissipation modules successively arranged along said linking direction, each module being provided with:
