In Osaka, the 40-story high-rise building with visco-elastic dampers was constructed in 1999. The structural frame of this building consists of steel girders and concrete filled steel tubular columns. Earthquake observation has been performed since the building completion. Many records have been observed. Then we made the earthquake response analysis was made using the three dimension frame model with the visco-elastic dampers which considered temperature and frequency dependency, and good correlations were obtained between the earthquake observation records and the analysis results. The vibration reduction effect of the damper was confirmed by comparing the analysis results of the model with dampers and the model with no damper. By comparing the analysis results of the condition that the temperature is quite different, it was confirmed that the vibration reduction effect of the damper has the difference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
