This study introduces a new energy dissipation device with a high damping capacity for the
seismic protection of buildings. The device exploits the friction losses between a movable …

Supplemental energy dissipation devices are employed both in new and retrofitted
constructions in order to prevent structural damage, increase life-safety and achieve a …

To fulfil the growing demand for energy dissipation prior to yielding structural elements to
inelastic deformation during seismic excitations, engineers pay particular attention to …

A significant amount of seismic energy is imparted to the structures during earthquakes. The
energy spreads within the structure and transforms in various energy forms as dissipated …

Supplemental energy dissipation devices are increasingly used to protect structures, limiting
loads transferred to structural elements and absorbing significant response energy without …
