Parameter Optimization of a Vertical Spring-Viscous Damper-Coulomb Friction System

A vertical spring-viscous damper-concave Coulomb friction isolation system was firstly proposed, and their parameters were firstly optimized to achieve the best performance under earthquakes. An incremental dynamic analysis method (IDA) and a performance-based assessment framework were used to calcu...
