Validation of GenEcAm Software Results in Simulation of Seismic Behavior of Buildings Equipped with Damping System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the validation process of the GenEcAm program made by the author by comparing the results obtained with this program with the results obtained with the SAP2000 program at the dynamic analysis of a P+10E building equipped with viscous fluid dampers, one on each facade on each level. The results obtained with these two programs are very close, which validates the correctness of the analytical and computational model that underpinned the creation of the GenEcAm program. The GenEcAm program allows the use of 9 theoretical models of hysteresis to simulate seismic behavior of the dampers that equippe the structure of a building.
