Abstract

Soft steel dampers have stable hysteresis characteristics and can effectively dissipate energy under repeated loads, providing good shock absorption effects for structures. It can be used for both seismic design of new buildings and seismic reinforcement of existing buildings. Suitable for various structural forms of buildings, including concrete structures, steel structures, and heavy-duty wooden structures. It is also applied in bridge structures, which can effectively reduce the vibration response of bridges under earthquake, wind vibration, etc., and improve the seismic performance and safety of bridges. Countries with rapid development in the application of structural control technology, such as the United States, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, and Mexico, are the main ones. Italy, France, Russia, Singapore, and other countries are also actively applying it in practical engineering. More than a hundred buildings abroad have adopted soft steel dampers.
