Abstract
Incorporation of friction devices in structures is an
innovative method for nontraditional seismic protection,
aiming at to avoid or to minimize the inelastic deformations
in the main bearing elements. Paper deals with the modeling
of friction forces with decreasing friction coefficient
during the sliding phase and its influence to the seismic
response of structures with friction devices. Numerical
simulations of the seismic response of a four story frame
with friction devices are carried out by use of the velocity
model of friction forces. The influence of the decrease of the
friction coefficient with the growth of the relative velocity of
sliding surfaces to the maximum displacements of the floor
slabs, maximum story drifts and maximum relative
displacements of the sliding surfaces is studied.
Conclusions are drown and design recommendations are
given.
