Development and Analysis of the Control Effect of a Reid Damper with Self-Centering Characteristics

To improve the recoverability of structures following an earthquake, a Reid friction damper with self-centering characteristics is proposed and its hysteretic behavior is studied by theoretical analysis and experimental research. The main parameters of the damper are the equivalent stiffness and ene...
