Outline of Final Research Achievements

A novel spine frame system with two-stage vibration behavior has been proposed for reducing seismic response of building structures. Firstly, cyclic loading tests were carried out to validate the feasibility of the proposed system, as well as to clarify the effect on hysteresis behavior from the main parameters including the initial gap, damper amount, and pretension force. Secondly, evaluation methods for the lateral force-displacement relation were established based on idealized mechanical models and finite element models. The evaluated results were in good agreement with the test results. Furthermore, response history analysis with various ground motions and seismic intensity were conducted for steel structures adopting the proposed system. The effect of main structural parameters on seismic performance was clarified. The appropriate value of each parameter was investigated for improving the target seismic performance of building structures.
