Fundamental Study on Damping Capacity of Lead Bearing Damper

Abstract

This paper presents dynamic eharacteristics ofnew1y developed lead bearing damper designed as to be installed in steel structures ， on the basis of an experirnental and the analytical investigations ， The experimental investigation under dynamic loading condition ， was carried out using a prototype specimen which consisted of lead plate ， stee1 plate with square shaped projection( key )and holed
