1. Introduction
Existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with non-ductile detailing represent a considerable hazard during earthquakes. This type of buildings suffered severe damages and were responsible for most of the loss of life during the major Italian seismic events such as the 1981 Irpinia earthquake. Improving the seismic response of this type of construction can be considered as one of the main concern for structural engineers.
Among seismic performance upgrading methods several options are normally available, one of which is to employ energy dissipation devices, such as friction, viscoelastic and metallic dampers etc. Energy input by ...
