Abstract
Friction devices offer an effective solution for seismic rehabilitation for structures byenergy dissipating capabilities.In this study, the effectiveness of friction devices are checked by numerical analysis,using the commercially available software SAP2000 on a 3 storey reinforced concreteframe structure by non – linear time history analysis using 4 different groundmotions, namely El – Centro, Kobe, Northridge and the Mexico, 3 of them beingmodified to hit the structure as strong as possible in the means of frequencycontent.The monitored results are maximum inter – storey drifts at any time and any floorlevel, structural damage, maximum top floor displacements and top floordisplacement time history graphs.It is shown that, a structure designed with a behaviour factor of 6, retrofitted withfriction devices performed better compared to a structure designed with a behaviourfactor of 3 and the optimum yield force distribution is a characteristic that dependson the structure, however lies in a range.
