Earthquake Vibration Control using Framed Shear Walls

Vibration Control of Structures Utilizing Architectural Walls

A study of architectural walls for energy dissipation and vibration control of buildings in seismic zones is presented. Typical architectural walls exhibit inelastic behavior; however, both the stiiness and energy dissipation capacity degrade after the walls are damaged. Integrating passive damping devices within these walls augments their energy dissipative abilities by widening the hysteresis...

Effect of Overturning Restraint on the Performance of Fully Sheathed and Perforated Timber Framed Shear Walls

Vibration Control of MDOF Structure under Earthquake Excitation using Passive Control and Active Control

In the present paper, active control system is used in different heights of the building and the most effective part was studied where the active control system is applied. The mathematical model of the building is established in MATLAB and in order to active control the system FLC method was used. Three different locations of the building are chosen to apply active control system, namely at th...

Free vibration analysis of steel framed structures

This study based on free vibration analysis and study the behavior of framed structure under different frequency of vibration using ANSYS software and shaking table. A small scale uni-axial shaking table was prepared in laboratory, which can produce lower to moderate vibration, regarding frequency and velocity. Moment resisting framed structures constructed with connecting beam and column eleme...

Effects of Dead Load and Multiple Earthquake Loadings on Seismic Performance of Wood-Frame Shear Walls

Goals of this preliminary study are to better understand (1) earthquake performance of wood-frame shear walls carrying gravity loads, compared with walls without gravity load, and (2) performance of walls subjected to a sequence of earthquake motions, compared with walls subjected to a single earthquake. Tests with simulated earthquake ground motions were conducted on 2,440 by 2,440-mm (8 by 8-...
