Abstract
In this study, a novel friction damper with dual slip forces is proposed for the control of structural displacement and drift. The seismic performance of the damper is investigated through both experimental and numerical modeling. The proposed friction damper features several notable characteristics, including easy installation and deployment, a simple vibration control mechanism, optimized weight, and resistance to buckling and distortion. Additionally, it exhibits varying seismic performance based on the pre-tensioning force of the bolts, leading to adjustable slip force and performance levels. To evaluate the hysteresis behavior of the proposed damper, experimental modeling was conducted, and a numerical model of the damper was created and assessed using the OpenSees software. For assessing the damper’s effectiveness in controlling structural vibrations, two buildings (4-story and 8-story) were analyzed under three different conditions: without any control system, with a bracing system, and with the proposed friction damper, subjected to seismic loading from five major earthquakes. The results demonstrated that equipping the structure with the proposed damper significantly reduced both displacement and drift compared to the conditions without a control system and with bracing. Based on the findings, the proposed damper showed acceptable performance in controlling structural displacement and drift. Given its variable performance levels, it can be considered a suitable tool for displacement and drift control in structures.
