Within European Research Project “FREEDAM” supported by RFCS a design procedure for MRFs equipped with friction dampers has been developed. In particular, beam-to-column joints are equipped with friction dampers located at the bottom flange level namely “FREEDAM” dampers. Therefore, all the connections are conceived in order to prevent structural damage. A prototype structure has been designed according to a design procedure assuring a collapse mechanism of global type whose name is Theory of Plastic Mechanism Control, and its seismic performances have been investigated by means of IDA analyses in a companion paper.

Abstract
Within European Research Project “FREEDAM” supported by RFCS a design procedure for MRFs equipped with friction dampers has been developed. In particular, beam-to-column joints are equipped with friction dampers located at the bottom flange level namely “FREEDAM” dampers. Therefore, all the connections are conceived in order to prevent structural damage. A prototype structure has been designed according to a design procedure assuring a collapse mechanism of global type whose name is Theory of Plastic Mechanism Control, and its seismic performances have been investigated by means of IDA analyses in a companion paper.File in questo prodotto:
