Enhancing Friction Pendulum Isolation Systems Using Passive and Semi-Active Dampers

Friction pendulum systems (FPSs) are a common solution for isolating civil engineering structures under ground movements. The result is a base-isolated structure in which the base exhibits low shear stiffness in such a way that the input energy of the earthquake is concentrated and dissipated into i...
