Bolted friction columns for structural damping

Over the last three decades, friction damping has been proved to be very efficient for vibration mitigation. The designs developed so far are either bracing mechanisms or friction joints. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of friction columns for vibration damping. A friction c...
