Adapted Bouc-Wen Analytical Model for Romanian SERB-C Seismic Dampers Used in Buildings Protection System

Abstract:

In this paper is presented a new mathematical model which is intended to simulate the hysteretic phenomenon of SERB-C Romanian friction device for damping and dissipation of earthquake energy used for buildings. These devices have unusual shape of force-displacement loop which can be simulated with our new model which represents a specific adaptation of the well known Bouc-Wen hysteretic model. The purpose of this analytical simulation is to determine a relation for the hysteretic loop which was obtained by experimental tests performed by the authors. The mathematical model presented in this paper can be used in computational simulation of a building protected with these types of devices, in order to determine the anti-seismic performances of a Romanian friction building protection system.
