Semiactive friction connections for seismic control of multi-storey buildings

This document describes an investigation of the efficiency of friction-based passive and semiactive systems for control of the seismic response of multi-storey buildings, and the mechanisms behind their performance. Passive and semiactive systems are novel strategies used to reduce the seismic deman...
