Seismic Response of Yielding Multistory Steel Buildings Equipped with Pressurized Sand Dampers

Dynamic response of structures with a friction-yield damper

“…Some of the dampers are applicable in steel braces [12][13], others in base isolation [14][15] and an innovative technique is the inter-story isolation for high-rise buildings [16]. To prove the effectiveness of the dampers, they were studied in experimental research or numerical research and many review articles are presented [17][18][19][20][21]. In this study, the friction-yield damper absorbs the seismic energy by yielding bending and frictional forces that occur in the metallic elements of the damper [9,[22][23][24].…”
