Principles of Friction, Viscoelastic., Yielding Steel and Fluid Viscous DAMPERS: Properties and Design

  • Chapter
Passive and Active Structural Vibration Control in Civil Engineering

Part of the book series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 345))

Abstract

This section describes passive energy dissipating devices which may be used within a structural system to absorb seismic energy. These devices are capable of producing significant reductions of interstory drifts in moment-resisting frames. Furthermore, these devices may, under elastic conditions, reduce the design forces.
