This book provides a comprehensive guide to the analysis and design of seismic control systems, with practical examples and step-by-step procedures using SAP2000 (V 18.1.1), OpenSees (V 5) and Perform 3D (V 5). The following chapters are included:
Chapter 1 Introduces the fundamentals of structural control and the different types of control systems. Chapter 2 Covers the design of structures with energy-dissipation devices, using LRFD, based on ASCE 7-10. Chapter 3 Discusses viscous dampers, their behavior and design per ASCE 7-10, with a detailed example. Chapter 4 Focuses on viscoelastic dampers and their modeling and design procedures. Chapter 5 Presents friction dampers, including optimum slip load and common modeling configurations. Chapter 6 Addresses yielding dampers and structural fuses, with design and modeling guidelines. Chapter 7 Explores seismic isolation systems, including rubber and lead-rubber bearings, and their design per Chapter 17 of ASCE 7-10. Chapter 8 Examines friction pendulum isolation systems (single, double and triple). Chapter 9 Covers Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs), with step-by-step design and modeling procedures.
