This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on friction type passive energy dissipation
devices. Friction dampers are highly preferred as an energy dissipation device, particularly …

An extensive investigation of the international literature is carried out regarding the passive
energy dissipation systems and more specifically the dampers that can be positioned in …

In this paper, the effect of using different passive control systems on the seismic performance
of an eight-story intermediate steel moment frame was investigated. For this purpose, ten …

The aim of this study is to compare the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC)
symmetric buildings, with a varied number of stories, strengthening with three types of …

The seismic design of structures is crucial for preventing structural collapse and
safeguarding human lives. Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) have emerged as effective …

In the present work attention is focused on the friction-yielding damper CAR1 (first prototype
of Control-Absorb-Retain damper), which belongs to passive energy dissipation systems …

Background: Beam-to-column joints equipped with friction dampers are a viable solution to
improve the dissipative capacity of moment Resisting Frames without any damage after …

Buckling-restrained brace frames (BRBFs) exhibit well-controlled seismic demands due to
their excellent energy dissipating capacity. However, excessive residual deformation is …

In parallel to efforts of enhancing the seismic performance of structures, this paper
emphasizes the potential of applying casting technology into steel dampers in frame …

Background: Modern seismic code design rules are known to be based on capacity design
principles. They try to assure the damage to occur in the ductile parts of the structure, such …
