Abstract:Direct displacement-based design (DDBD) method is one of the most effective methods for performance-base design of structures that has been also employed to design structures controlled by fluid viscous damper (FVD). In previous studies, a modified DDBD has been developed to apply the higher mode effects as well as difference between spectral velocity and pseudo-spectral velocity on the design velocity of FVD. To this end, two constants were defined to correct the damping coefficient of FVD that these correcti… Show more
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.
