A204 Evaluation of double building models on a double inertia type common seismic stage and a simple passive MR damper

Abstract

This paper presents seismic evaluation of double building models by a double inertia type common seismic stage, and presents performance evaluation of a simple passive MR damper. Notch property of double inertia seismic stage could decrease the major peak of double building. The method of resistance force measurement which links between the virtual fixed ground and the upper inertia of seismic stage, suggests the fixed ground hook damper.
