Implementation of Advanced Flag-Shape (AFS) Systems for Moment-Resisting Frame Structures
Abstract eng: A second generation of self-centering/dissipating systems, referred to as Advanced Flag-Shape (AFS) systems, has been recently proposed by the authors, consisting of combination of alternative forms of energy dissipation (yielding, friction or viscous damping) in series and/or in parallel with re-centering elements to achieve high seismic performance for both far-fault and near-fault motions. In particular, the unique properties of a system combining friction dampers in series with viscous dampers, then combined in parallel with re-centering and hysteretic dissipation elements, was found to lead to an enhanced, predictable and controllable performance of single-degree-of -freedom (SDOF) systems. In this contribution, after a brief
