A study has been made of the use of three semi-active friction devices, herein referred to as dampers, to control the seismic response of a building modelled as three masses. With a pseudo-random earthquake input, peak lateral accelerations, inter-storey drift and base displacement relative to groun

This paper presents a two-dimensional numerical study on the nonlinear seismic response of buildings equipped with two types of energy dissipators: Constant Friction Slip Braces (CFSB) and Adding Damping and Stiffness (ADAS). Three types of reinforced concrete buildings with 3, 7 and 15 storeys, rep
This paper presents the "rst application of a semi-active damper system to an actual building. The Semi-active Hydraulic Damper (SHD) can produce a maximum damping force of 1000 kN with an electric power of 70 W. It is compact, so a large number of them can be installed in a single building. It is t
This paper reports a structural design method of a 100;m tall building using passive energy dissipation dampers, which made the unique architectural form of the building structurally feasible. This tall building will have 21 Β―oors above ground and three basement Β―oors, and will be an educational fac
