Seismic Performance of the Masonry Buildings with Frame at the Bottom Equipped with the New Hybrid Damper

Abstract:

An improved new damper was presented. The mechanical properties of the damper were conducted by the numerical simulation method under the cyclic loading. Also, the seismic mitigation effectiveness of the damper was verified though Time History Analysis. The results show that the improved damper has good hysteretic behavior. It can significantly reduce structural displacement response. Furthermore, the seismic performance of Masonry Buildings with Frame at the Bottom was studied by equipped the improved damper. The control effect was compared with Masonry Buildings with Frame at the Bottom and Masonry Buildings with Two-story Frame at the Bottom.
