The Use of TPMC for Designing MRFs Equipped with FREEDAM Connections: A Case Study

Abstract:

Within European Research Project “FREEDAM” supported by RFCS a design procedure for MRFs equipped with friction dampers has been developed. In particular, beam-to-column joints are equipped with friction dampers located at the bottom flange level namely “FREEDAM” dampers. Therefore, all the connections are conceived in order to prevent structural damage. A prototype structure has been designed according to a design procedure assuring a collapse mechanism of global type whose name is Theory of Plastic Mechanism Control, and its seismic performances have been investigated by means of IDA analyses in a companion paper.
