Earthquake time history analysis of steel frame with viscoelastic dampers based on MIDAS

Xiaoyun Su

Abstract

To verify the effects of viscoelastic damper for seismic mitigation,a six-storey steel frame structure with viscoelastic dampers and the original structure without viscoelastic dampers are established and compared by the finite element analysis software MIDAS / GEN under horizontal seismic.The analysis testified the efficiency of viscoelastic dampers by comparing structure with viscoelastic damper to common structure.
