An Evaluation System for Seismic Retrofitting Schemes of an Existing Building Using Energy Dissipation Device

Article Preview

Abstract:

Focusing on the green renovation project of Shendu Building in Shanghai, China, an evaluation system is developed for the comparison of a variety of seismic control schemes for seismic retrofit of the building. A three-dimensional evaluation model is developed in MATLAB to represent the dynamic features of the structural system of the building, and nine key evaluation indices are defined for the evaluation purpose from a global view of both control efficiency and costs. The complete procedure of designing control schemes based on the retrofitted benchmark structure is presented, which may be helpful for researchers and engineers in easily testing various control schemes by using this evaluation system.
