The development of a selection criteria model for the type of seismic retrofitting scheme applicable to Philippine buildings
… strategies such as Seismic Isolation, Passive Energy Dissipation and Active Systems. An analysis of the rehabilitation process given by the Federal Emergency Management Agency is presented. The most significant factor affecting the modifications is the level of seismic activity in the …

Seismic design of energy dissipation systems for optimal structural perfromance
The usefulness of supplementary energy dissipation devices is now quite well-known in the earthquake structural engineering community for reducing the earthquake-induced response of structural systems. However, systematic design procedures for optimal sizing and placement of these protective …

Seismic Response of Structures with Added Viscoelastic Dampers
Several passive energy dissipation devices have been implemented in practice as the seismic protective systems to mitigate structural damage caused by earthquakes. The solid viscoelastic dampers are among such passive energy dissipation systems. To examine the response reducing effectiveness of …

Development, Analysis and Testing of a Hybrid Passive Control Device for Seismic Protection of Framed Structures
… seismic protection strategy called the hybrid passive control device (HPCD) has been developed which combines typical passive energy dissipation devices. It consists of a high damping rubber (HDR) sandwich damper in series with a buckling restrained brace (BRB). The HPCD provides energy …

Control of large-scale structures with large uncertainties
… appropriately sizing stiffnesses, but recently, passive energy dissipation systems have gained popularity. Semi-active and active energy dissipation systems have been shown to outperform purely passive systems, but they are not yet widely accepted in the construction and structural engineering …

Application of visco-hyperelastic devices in structural response control
… to performance based engineering, in which energy dissipation systems in structural frameworks assume prime importance. A visco-hyperelastic device is a completely new type of passive energy dissipation system that not only combines the energy dissipation properties of velocity and …

Use of Permanent Magnets to Improve the Seismic Behavior of Light-Framed Structures
… seismic design approach. The main source of energy dissipation in such structures is the inelastic behavior of the connectors connecting framing and sheathing elements. Wood framed structures when subjected to strong ground excitations experience structural and non-structural damage which may …
