Abstract |
An increase in the frequency of occurrence of natural disaster events like Earthquakes has been evident over the past few years. Strong vibration and possible collapse of structures during these events can lead to catastrophic human and economy loss. Damping is one of the most important parameters that limit the response of the structures to these dynamic events. The main aim of this project is to bridge the existing knowledge gaps by undertaking comprehensive investigation of several high and medium-rise structures with different damping devices embedded within cut outs of shear walls. A thorough study will give us an idea about the best suited technique to be employed for reducing the effect of earthquake on the structure. The research aims to address the needs of local industries by carrying out a comprehensive investigation on seismic mitigation of high-rise structures with different damping devices. Nonlinear finite element modeling approach has been used in the current study. For this purpose, we studied the response of modelled frames and commented on the ideal locations of Friction Dampers & VE Dampers. For this Storey Displacements were evaluated. |
