Seismic Interstory Drift Demands in Steel Friction Damped Braced Buildings

In the last 35 years, several researchers have proposed, developed and tested different friction devices for seismic control of structures. Their research has demonstrated that such devices are simple, economical, practical, durable and very effective. However, research on passive friction dampers,...
