Performance Evaluation of Friction Spring Seismic Damper
Abstract
Use of passive energy dissipators is emerging as an accepted practice for the seismic design and retrofit of civil engineering structures. One such new device, based on a self-centering friction mechanism is investigated in this paper. This device uses ring springs, also known as friction springs, as the key components to dissipate seismic-induced energy. Results of characterization tests performed on a 200-kN capacity damper prototype and …
