Numerical Simulations of Steel Frames Equipped with Friction-Damped Diagonal-Bracing Devices

Among passive energy dissipation devices, friction dampers are used worldwide as means of increasing damping into structural building systems with the aim to reduce the seismic response. These devices, added either in-line with diagonal braces, or at the intersection zone of X- and chevron-bracing...
