“…This research stands out for its comprehensive analysis across multiple damper types and building structures. Comparatively, studies like [9,24,29] focused mainly on the behaviour of viscous dampers in seismic scenarios. The current study's findings, highlighting the superior performance of viscous and viscoelastic dampers in lower buildings and friction and hysteresis dampers in taller buildings, add valuable insights, especially when contrasted with the singular focus of earlier works.…”

“…However, the practical application of these methods is often limited, particularly for large and heavy structures, due to the substantial control forces that the structures require [17]. PEDDs are different from semi-active and active systems because they do not need an external power source to work [24]. PEDDs encompass a diverse array of devices and passive materials that augment stiffness, damping, and strength.…”

Structures are recommended to be designed and constructed with the integration of structural health monitoring techniques to ensure that they can dissipate a large amount of energy without considerable damage when subjected to earthquakes. Hysteretic (H), friction (F), viscous (V), and viscoelastic (VE) dampers were employed in this study to observe the response of buildings using the commercially available software ETABS. The effect of different dampers along with configurations on three prototype concrete buildings (3, 5, and 10-storey) was studied by performing a time history analysis. Initially, the response of the buildings was observed in terms of storey drifts, base shear, and displacement without using dampers, while gradually increasing the damping ratio from 0 to 40%. Subsequently, the response of the buildings was evaluated in terms of displacements and base shear using various types of dampers with different configurations. The analysis results demonstrated that the effectiveness of viscous and viscoelastic dampers is higher for 3 and 5-storey buildings, while friction and hysteresis dampers are more suitable for 10-storey buildings. This information enables informed decisions regarding the performance and maintenance of dampers, contributing to the overall resilience and durability of structures in seismic events.

Controlling structures and increasing the prognosis of their behaviour before natural disasters are the most critical issues in structural engineering. To that end, predicting the destructive effects of earthquakes on both acceleration and displacement of structures would be beneficial. This paper suggests an intelligent control system that realises simultaneous control of acceleration and displacement parameters. There are two modules in the system. First, the preserving module aims to estimate the crisis thresholds of acceleration and displacement based on the historical seismic data of each area. Second, the processing module finds the optimum value of the slip load of the friction damper so that both acceleration and displacement are controlled. We introduce an analytical method based on a matrix analysis approach and heuristic algorithm (MAHA) as a core of the processing module. MAHA would analyse the structure response, and the friction damper would determine the optimum slip load. The numerical and software simulation results for various one-bay and two-bay steel structures show that the proposed intelligent control system applies to multiple frictions damped structures under different earthquake records. In addition, a control level of 80% in acceleration and displacement of structures is achieved compared to an uncontrolled state. Moreover, the mentioned system enables the engineers to find appropriate friction dampers during the design of structures.
