Abstract:
A one-piece structural fuse assembly is disclosed that is formed from a single piece of structural steel such as a beam. In embodiments, a first flange of the beam may form the fuse base, and a portion of the web of the beam may form the fuse plate. Additionally, a buckling restraint plate of the structural fuse assembly may be formed from a second flange of the beam, and the spacers of the structural fuse assembly may be formed from a portion of the web unused by the fuse plate. In examples, all of the components cut from the single piece of the beam are used in a single structural fuse assembly.

Claim (Index 1):
A pair of structural fuse assemblies, comprising:\n a first blank taken from a first section of beam, the first blank comprising:\n a first structural fuse comprising;\n a first fuse base formed from a first flange of the beam, \n a first fuse yield plate extending from and integrally formed with the fuse base, the fuse plate formed from a web of the beam, and the fuse yield plate comprising a narrow area defined by a pair of notches; \n \n a first pair of spacers formed from the web of the beam and configured to fit within the pair of notches; and \n a first buckling restraint plate formed from a second flange of the beam; and \n a second blank taken from a second section of beam, the second blank comprising:\n a second structural fuse comprising;\n a second fuse base formed from the first flange of the beam, \n a second fuse yield plate extending from and integrally formed with the fuse base, the fuse plate formed from a web of the beam, and the fuse yield plate comprising a narrow area defined by a pair of notches; \n \n a second pair of spacers formed from the web of the beam and configured to fit within the pair of notches; and \n a second buckling restraint plate formed from a second flange of the beam; \n wherein the first and second sections of beam are directly adjacent each other on the beam.
