While damping devices can provide supplemental to mitigate building vibration due wind or earthquake effects, integrating them into the design is more complex. For example, Canadian code does not designs with inline friction dampers. The objective of this present article was study overstrength, ductility, and response modification factors concrete frame buildings dampers in context. that purpos...

The study deals with the damage control system of wooden houses using wood friction-based dampers subjected to earthquake motion. In this study, friction joints were developed introduce damping into shear walls. Shaking table tests also conducted investigate seismic performance two-story timber structures composed plywood walls, plasterboards and walls high devices. purpose is propose an estima...

The efficacy of dampers in providing seismic protection has been validated by the excellent performance of buildings fitted with dampers in the past earthquakes. However, previous studies have not accounted for the limit states of dampers. Recently, a multi-year research project was completed that investigated the seismic performance of building with dampers subject to large earthquakes. It was...

Studies have already demonstrated the successful use of linear semiactive damping devices, such as variable orifice (VO) dampers, for semiactive TMD systems. More recently, nonlinear semiactive damping devices, such as magnetorheological (MR) dampers, have also been shown to be effective for semiactive control of TMDs. Though semiactive dampers differ widely, with responses ranging from linear ...
