Abstract:

An Earthquake is sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks. Over the centuries they have been responsible for millions of deaths and extensive damage to property. Over the past couple of decades the astounding developments in design strategies have been made, which incorporate, earthquake protective systems in the structure. These protective systems are in the form of seismic isolation system and supplementary energy dissipation devices. The method of structural isolation deflects or filters out the earthquake energy by interposing a layer with low horizontal stiffness between the structure and the foundation. Another approach to improving earthquake response performance is that of supplemental energy dissipation system. In these systems, mechanical devices are incorporated into the frame of the structure and absorb the energy from the earthquake reducing the drift as well effects on the critical components of the structure. These mechanical energy dissipating devices have been found to be quite promising and their applications form the focus of this study.
