| Abstract | The California regions are highly prone to earthquakes of significant magnitude and have a high chance of suffering large amounts of damage in terms of loss of life as well as economically. The current practice to counter seismic loading in the construction industry is to use concentrically braced frames, especially in the western coastal regions of USA. Concentrically braced frames dissipate energy mainly through yielding and buckling of the braces during seismic loading, which means they go through plastic deformation and require high maintenance. Comparatively viscoelastic damping systems provide for a restorative component in damping thus reducing the maintenance of the structure due to its viscous and elastic deformations during seismic activity. The following study is done in order to validate this statement. Additionally the viscoelastic damper will be compared with the viscous damping system and friction damping system to determine the most preferable damping system. |
