Abstract text:
Flexible buildings can produce excessive vibration due to wind action, thus affecting the comfort of residents but also the structural system. To ensure the functional performance of the flexible structure have been adopted several solutions (flexible structures driven by wind and earthquake re-quire dampers) while those driven only by the earthquake are rigid and require base isolation systems. An overview of measures to reduce structural response including a discussion of auxiliary damping devices, as well as recent examples of their use in countries such as USA, Japan, Turkey, Italy, is presented.
Key Words:
passive isolation systems; dampers; earthquake.
