Tests of Friction Energy Dissipators for Seismic Protection of Buildings


Abstract eng:
This paper presents unidirectional shaking table tests of two steel frames; they are reduced scale models of two building structures with one and two floors, respectively. Such frames incorporate friction dissipators at every floor. The inputs are sine-dwells and artificial and registered earthquakes; some of the sine-dwells generate near-resonance motion and some of the earthquakes contain pulses corresponding to near-fault effects. The main objectives of these experiments are: (i) to collect a wide range of results useful to calibrate a numerical model derived by the authors, (ii) to contribute to clarify some of the most controversial issues about friction dissipators (
