A displacement-based method for the design of an energy dissipating system is herein proposed.

Abstract
A displacement-based method for the design of an energy dissipating system is herein proposed. The device, which is composed of added concrete walls equipped with hysteretic Added Damping and Stiffness dampers, is aimed at upgrading the seismic behaviour of existing masonry structures. The proposed displacement-based design procedure was tested by means of inelastic time history analyses considering four masonry structures. The results of the analyses were compared with the seismic behaviour expected from design. A probabilistic characterization of the method was studied within the 2000 SAC-FEMA framework.File in questo prodotto:
