Design of innovative friction damper devices for earthquake-resilient RC frames with Hybrid Steel-Trussed Concrete Beams

2021

This thesis focuses on the design of innovative friction damper devices for earthquake-resilient Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames realized with Hybrid Steel-Trussed Concrete Beams (HSTCBs). These devices fall within the framework of the recently-proposed low-damage design strategy for structures built in earthquake-prone areas, on the basis of which the structures are designed to experience negligible damage when subjected to seismic events. The comprehensive solution proposed aims at introducing a feasible option for building earthquake-resilient RC Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs), having been proposed very few solutions for this structural scheme so far. Innovative solutions are proposed fo…
