Computational studies for comparison between Taylor dampers and SERB dampers used in damping systems for a ten stories building
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper presents a comparison computational study of the behavior of a ten stories building equipped with SERB C-194 and Taylor dampers during earthquakes, according to romanian codes for seismic analysis. SERB C-194 are new romanian damping devices special created for protection of the buildings subjected to Romanian Vrancea earthquakes. This comparison was made using an program software made by the author which permits time-history analysis of buildings equipped with different damping devices such as: Maxwell, Kelvin-Voigt, Zener, Bouc-Wen, Taylor. The study will compare the drifts and the forces introduced into the structure by the dampers. The romanian dampers are a cheaper way to protect the building during earthquake and restrict the drifts similarly with Taylor devices dampers.
