Seismic Upgrade of a 15-Story Steel Moment Frame Building—Satisfying Performance Criteria with Application of Experimental and Analytical Procedures

Performance‐Based Multiobjective Optimal Seismic Retrofit Method for a Steel Moment‐Resisting Frame Considering the Life‐Cycle Cost

“…Liu et al [3] proposed seismic retrofit schemes that combine dampers and BRBs. Malley et al [4] suggested seismic retrofit schemes that combine connection upgrade and dampers. They also verified that these retrofit schemes meet the performance objectives of buildings.…”

2011 Damping issue—smart buildings: viscous dampers, Part I and II

“…Part I and II contain the following papers: X Lu and J Chen [1] present a tuned mass damper to be set in the upper part of the Shanghai Center Tower to control the structural wind‐induced response. X Lu and J Chen [2] describe the optimum control parameters of a tuned mass damper (TMD) that were obtained through different optimization cases of TMD system parameters for wind vibration control. JO Malley, M Sinclair, T Graf, C Blaney, C‐M Uang and T Ahmed [3] summarize the seismic analysis and rehabilitation of a 15‐storey steel moment resisting frame building that included a combination of moment connection strengthening and additions of viscous dampers. KK Wong [4] focuses on fluid viscous dampers being used in both newly constructed and seismically retrofitted structures to effectively reduce dynamic responses. VB Patil and RS Jangid [5] demonstrate how the performance of dampers is studied by connecting them to alternate stories with two innovative arrangements and then comparing it with the conventional arrangement. J Kim, H Choi and KW Min [6] present the combined system of rotational friction dampers connected to high‐strength tendons to enhance both seismic and progressive collapse‐resisting capacity of existing structures. AM Aly, A Zasso and F Resta [7] present wind‐induced response reduction in a very slender building using magneto‐rheological dampers with level mechanism. J Kang, H‐S Kim and D‐G Lee [8] explain the effectiveness of semiactive TMDs for the response control of a wind‐excited tall building. Y Ribakov and G Agranovich [9] focus on viscoelastic dampers being widely used for enhancing structural response to earthquakes, wind and other dynamic loadings. Y Ribakov [10] investigates a damping system including viscous and variable friction dampers for improving structural system responses. Y Ribakov and G Agranovich [11] describe active dampers being known for many years as an excellent solution yielding enhanced structural seismic behavior. H Estekanchi and M Basim [12] present the endurance time method being utilized to acquire optimal placement of viscous dampers in short steel frames. …”
