Innovative Seismic Response-Controlled System with Shear Wall and Concentrated Dampers in Lower Stories

A new structural control system using damper-installed shear walls in lower stories with reduced stiffness is proposed for vibration control of high-rise RC buildings. That system has some design variables, i.e., height of shear wall, degree of stiffness reduction at lower stories, and quantity of d...
