Basic Components of a Damping System

1 = Primary frame; 2 = Damper device; 3 = Supporting member

Damping system = damping devices + supporting members (braces, walls, etc.)

Classification of FEMA 450(Chapter 15: Structures with damping systems)

The chapter defines the damping system as:

The collection of structural elements that includes: (1) allindividual damping devices, (2) all structural elements or

bracing required to transfer forces from damping devices to

the base of the structure, and (3) all structural elements

required to transfer forces from damping devices to the

seismic-force-resisting system (SFRS).

The damping system (DS) may be external or internal tothe structure and may have no shared elements, some

shared elements, or all elements in common with the

seismic-force-resisting system.

Types of damper devices (FEMA 273)

Displacement-dependent devices

(metallic dampers, friction dampers)

Velocity-dependent devices

(fluid viscous dampers,solid visco-elastic dampers, etc.)

Other types (shape-memory alloys, self-centering devices,etc.)

Expected benefits of application of DS

Added damping (viscous dampers)

Added stiffness and damping (visco-elastic, metallic, friction)

As a result, enhanced control of the interstorey drifts

------------------------------------------

In new structures: Enhanced performance (reduced damage)

Less stringent detailing for ductility (economy)

In existing structures:

Alternative to shear walls (speed-up retrofit)

Correction of irregularities

Supression of torsional response

Performance in terms of energy dissipation

The structures differ in the way they manage and distribute thetotal input seismic energyEi

Conventional structures:

energy dissipation through cyclic plastic deformation

ductile response means damage and lossescode-based design does not explicitly evaluateEh/Eidissipation capacity is exhausted after a major quake

Structures with damping systems:

energy dissipation performed by specialized partsprimary structure/frame has mainly gravity load supportingfunction and re-centering function

Global energy balance:Ei = Ek+ Es + E +Eh


10/35

Advantages of displacement-dependent

damper devices

Relatively cheap

Easy maintenance

Durability

Well-defined and predictable response, so that the

supporting members can be safely designed accordingto the capacity design rules

10


11/35

Drawbacks of displacement-dependent

damper devices

Nonlinear response which complicates the analysis/design Relatively stiff and thus not very efficient in weak quakes

Relatively small number of working cycles and potential

low-cycle fatigue problems (metallic dampers only)

Possible variation of the coefficient of friction with time

and degradation of contact surfaces (friction dampers only)

React to static displacements due to temperature effects and

long-term deformations (shrinkage, creep)

25/35

Basic steps of improved analysis procedure1. Conventional modal analysis estimate T1 and {1}

2. Nonlinear static pushover analysis trace the roof

displacement vs. base shear relationship3. Calculate the properties of the Equivalent SDOF-system

4. Nonlinear time-history analysis of the ESDOF-system

find the max. base shear, max. displacement and Ed

/ Ei

5. Determine the performance point of the real MDOF-

structure (in terms of base shear and roof displacement)

6. Check the location of the performance point on the

pushover curve from Step 2

7. Estimate deformations and forces in the members and

dampers corresponding to the performance point

Conclusions

from the shake-table testing The full-scale testing at the NCREE proved the excellent

capacity of the proposed damping system to significantly

reduce earthquake-induced building vibrations

The seismic performance of such friction-damped frames

could be predicted reasonably well by conventional

software for non-linear time history analysis such asDRAIN-2DX and SAP2000

Dampers supported by tension-only braces seem sensitive

to imperfections - deviations from the design brace slope

influenced the brace stiffness, periods of vibration andseismic response.

30/35

An example of successful application Seismic protection of industrial facility

Design PGA=0.24g, I=1.00, Soil type=B (stiff soil)

Seismic weight W=7800 kN

Design objective: To reduce the base shear to levels below

1120 kN, for which the existing supporting RCsub-structure

was originally designed Conventional design as CBF system with chevron braces is

inappropriate due to higher base shear level

(2.5x0.24x7800/1.5=3120 kN)

Design solution: use friction dampers with slip capacity of 50-

60 kN per device (total slip capacity per direction 600 kN)

Concluding remarks The passive energy dissipation systems are now a mature

and reliable technology for seismic protection

The metallic and friction dampers offer certain advantages

that can be put to work if a proper system of supporting

members is employed

The analysis and design of such displacement-dependentdamping systems require increased efforts and time but

could be really rewarding

The option of supplemental damping should be considered

at the very early stages of conceptual design and planning
