Abstract
Yielding dampers are often selected as a cost-effective solution for improving steel structures compared to other energy dissipation systems. The objective of this research study was to investigate the cyclic behavior of the angled U-shaped yielding damper (AUSYD) on a steel frame using numerical method. The numerical model was first verified using two experimental samples. Next, the influence of the number of dampers on the cyclic behavior of the steel frame was examined. The parametric model outcomes included energy dissipation, elastic stiffness, strength, and equivalent viscous damping ratio (EVDR). Additionally, an analytical equation was proposed for calculating the ultimate strength of the AUSYD, which correlated well with the experimentally obtained results. The study findings revealed that the increase in elastic stiffness and strength of the frame equipped with the AUSYD was nearly equivalent to the sum of the elastic stiffness and strength of the bare frame and its supplementary dampers. Furthermore, the results showed that models with 8 to 12 dampers had comparable energy dissipation and EVDR. Adding 8 dampers to the frame increased the energy dissipation and damping coefficient of the frame by 42% and 67%, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering is a peer reviewed scientific journal published by the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. It was founded in 1957. Publication frequency: quarterly.
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering publishes both research and application oriented papers, in the area of civil engineering.
The main scope of the journal is to publish original research articles in the wide field of civil engineering, including geodesy and surveying, construction materials and engineering geology, photogrammetry and geoinformatics, geotechnics, structural engineering, architectural engineering, structural mechanics, highway and railway engineering, hydraulic and water resources engineering, sanitary and environmental engineering, engineering optimisation and history of civil engineering. The journal is abstracted by several international databases, see the main page.
