Abating Earthquake Effects on Buildings by Active Slip Brace Devices

A hybrid control system for reducing building vibration under a spectrum of earthquake load amplitudes is presented. The hybrid control is accomplished by an energy dissipation device called the active slip brace device (ASBD). The hybrid control system uses the ASBD to regulate the energy dissipati...

The hybrid control is accomplished by an energy dissipation device called the active slip brace device (ASBD). The hybrid control system uses the ASBD to regulate the energy dissipation characteristics of the building during its response to earthquakes by utilizing active control principles. The ASBD consists of a Coulomb friction interface with a clamping mechanism on the interface.
