Development, Analysis and Testing of a Hybrid Passive Control Device for Seismic Protection of Framed Structures
A new seismic protection strategy called the hybrid passive control device (HPCD) has been developed which combines typical passive energy dissipation devices. It consists of a high damping rubber (HDR) sandwich damper in series with a buckling restrained brace (BRB). The HPCD provides energy dissip...
