What is Experimental and analytical simulation of wind response for a full-scale VE-damped steel frame about?
This paper presents findings of the first real-time and full-scale tests of a bottom three-story portion of a ten-story steel frame with viscoelastic (VE-) dampers subjected to simulated wind-induced forces. The experimental method employed is unique in the application of large dynamic and static loads through five actuators, realistically sized VE-dampers, frame members, and connections, and 200 channels to monitor the structural response in detail. The testing methodology permitted assessment of both global and local member response for a VE-damped structure not available through conventional wind tunnel testing methods. Results show the complex interaction between VE-dampers and frame members. VE-dampers increased the damping ratio from 2% for the bare frame to 10% and resulted in significant reduction in the mean square displacement response, building accelerations, stress range in frame members and connections, and number of stress cycles.
