Mechanical Systems based on Dry Friction Force used for Building Isolation against Seismic Actions

Abstract

Today there are multiple solutions intended to avoid the earthquake damaging effects on building structures. There are methods based on the use of special mechanical systems attached directly to the structure's​ resistance frames, by means of which an improved building behavior is achieved during the earthquake. The systems used work on the principle of structure base isolation based on the dry friction force (Coulomb friction). Some constructive types of these isolation systems patterns are described in this paper.
