The invention discloses a buckling-restrained shearing steel plate energy dissipation device with clamping plates. The energy dissipation device comprises a core energy dissipation component, a buckling-restrained device, a top plate and a bottom plate, the core energy dissipation component is a rectangular energy dissipation steel plate, the top plate and the bottom plate are fixedly connected at the upper end and the lower end of the rectangular energy dissipation steel plate respectively, the buckling-restrained device comprises two clamping plates, four guide trough plates and stiffening ribs, the two clamping plates are arranged on the front side and the rear side of the rectangular energy dissipation steel plate respectively, the upper ends of the two clamping plates are fixed with the top plate, the four guide trough plates are fixed on the bottom plate and limit movement of the lower ends of the two clamping plates respectively, and the stiffening ribs are arranged on one lateral surface, departing from the rectangular energy dissipation steel plate, of each clamping plate. By the buckling-restrained shearing steel plate energy dissipation device with the clamping plates, slotting or punching of the core energy dissipation component can be avoided, and the stiffening ribs can be prevented from being directly welded on the core energy dissipation component. By the aid of the buckling-restrained device, out-of-plane deformation of the core energy dissipation component can be limited effectively, bearing capacity is enhanced, and hysteretic behavior is improved.
