What is Seismic Performance of X-Dampers Study about?
A study was conducted on an X-added damping and stiffness energy dissipation device (X-damper) made of soft steel. Low cyclic and reciprocal loading tests were performed on prototype X-damper models to evaluate their performance parameters and energy dissipation capacity. The test results showed that the X-damper had stable and repeatable hysteretic behavior as well as good seismic energy dissipation abilities. The X-shaped plates in the damper were able to yield almost entirely along their length due to ap
