STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROOF STRUCTURE WITH AXIAL-YIELD HYSTERETIC DAMPERS AS A DAMAGE-CONTROLLED STRUCTURE(Structures)

Abstract

The concept of a damage-controlled structure that reduces seismic response is effective to meet the requirement. Here, we applied to Takatsuki roof structure with axial yield hysteretic dampers arranged for flat system truss as a damage-controlled structure, in order to improve seismic performance. As results of response analyses, dampers can well work to keep roof structure within elastic response against large earthquake.
