Performance of Structures with Dampers

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the earthquake performance of structures with passive energy dissipators. This Paper addresses the following issues: 1) evaluation of seismic intensity levels at which frames incorporating the energy dissipating system (EDS) remain elastic; 2) performance evaluation of frames incorporating an EDS for high […]
