Calculation of Optimum Size of Hysterestic Dampers Using Inelastic Design Spectrum

The energy dissipation or damage prevention capability of structure can be greatly enhanced by employing hysteretic dampers. According to recent studies by the authors, the ratio of hysteretic damper stiffness to structural story stiffness has been identified as one of the most important parameters for characterizing the performance of this damper In this study the method for determining appropriate properties of hysteretic dampers to satisfy the given performance objectives is developed based on the concept of capacity spectrum method. The comparison with the results from inelastic time history analysis proves that the hysteretic dampers designed from the proposed method restrains the displacement well within the target displacement.
