Development of nonlinear analytical model and seismic analyses of a steel frame with self-centering devices and viscoelastic dampers

This paper highlights the role of advanced structural analysis tools on the conception of high-performance earthquake-resistant structural systems. A new steel frame equipped with self-centering devices and viscoelastic dampers is described. A prototype building using this frame is designed and a de...
