000011917 520__ $$2eng$$aAn innovative braced steel frame system designed to rock at its base under strong seismic motion is proposed. The system includes viscous dampers that are vertically mounted between the foundation and the column bases to dissipate energy and control the structure lateral displacements, while limiting the impact forces induced in the columns. Dynamic cyclic loading tests performed on the individual dampers showed that their load-displacement response could be satisfactory reproduced using a simple nonlinear relationship. Earthquake simulation tests have been performed on a 1:2 reduced scale model of a two-storey viscously damped rocking braced steel frame to assess the overall performance of the system. The rocking response of the test frame could be predicted well using a simple finite element model that includes nonlinear viscous damper and gap elements.
