Computational Studies for Comparison between BRB Dampers and SERB New Romanian Dampers Performance in Damping System of High Buildings

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a computational study for comparison of the behavior of a ten stories building equipped with two type of damping system: Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB dampers) and SERB new romanian dampers, during romanian earthquakes, according to romanian codes for seismic analysis. This study was computationally finalized using a software program made by the authors which permits time-history dynamic analysis of buildings equipped with different damping devices with different hysteresis such as: Maxwell, Kelvin-Voigt, Zener, Bouc-Wen, Taylor. The study will compare the drifts and the forces applied to the structure by the dampers. The SERB C-194 dampers are a cheaper way to protect the building during earthquake and restrict the drifts similarly with BRB dampers.
