EBF and CBF to color - Ultra Zone - 08-10-2009 I found some photos and want to share with you. You can see how the retrofit of building on Italy, using Excentrical Brace Frame (EBF) and Concentrical Brace Frame (CBF) will be combined with color for the architects. Domiziano Viola School, retrofit with energy dissipating braces, completed 2002. The coloured braces act like "energy vampires" soaking up the earthquake energy that would otherwise damage the structure. Domiziano Viola School, retrofit with energy dissipating braces, completed 2002. School retrofitted with energy dissipating braces, completed 2006. "G. Leopardi" School retrofitted with energy dissipating braces, completed 2006. RE: EBF and CBF to color - essenza - 08-17-2009 Wow architecturally pleasant buddy. I will save this drawing for future reference for my company office. I hope it is not copyrighted:blush:
