Slotted-bolted friction damper as a seismic energy dissipator in a braced timber frame

Creator:

Tjahyadi, Alfred

Abstract:

Friction dampers have been used successfully to dissipate seismic energy in steel and concrete structures. The application is new to timber structures. The objectives of this research were to design a slotted bolted connection (SBC) and evaluate its potential as a passive energy damper in timber brace. The research was...

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of heavy timber frame structures including passive damping devices

Creator:

Eiden, Claudia M. T.

Abstract:

Engineering analysis of heavy timber structures under dynamic loads is generally lacking. Some literature suggests that heavy timber structures are stiffer than expected, but popular engineering opinion is to the contrary. In addition, prior research has shown that passive friction dampers can be used in timber structures for the intended...
