Enhancing Seismic Response in Frame Structures through Rigid Connections to Structures with Vibro-Impacting Mass

In this paper, a promising approach is studied that can efficiently mitigate seismic effects on a frame structure by coupling it with an protection system. Various devices are employed to achieve this objective, including tuned mass dampers, dynamic mass absorbers, elastoplastic dampers, and rocking...
