Energy Dissipation Devices for Seismic Design

Objective: Design and evaluate energy dissipation devices for improving seismic resilience in building structures.

Context: Earthquake-prone regions in India face significant risks to life and infrastructure due to inadequate seismic design. Incorporating mechanical damping can greatly enhance safety and reduce economic losses during seismic events.

What you'll build: You will study various damper types (viscous, friction, yielding), model their integration into building structures using ETABS or SAP2000, and perform nonlinear seismic analysis. Material testing tools and CAD software will be used to design and simulate damping models, followed by a comparative performance assessment with conventional structures.

Deliverables: A comprehensive report, structural models, and performance comparison charts demonstrating the efficacy of energy dissipation devices.

Milestones
1.
Submit a brief project outline specifying your chosen structure type, the seismic zone, and the scope of your investigation. List the energy dissipation devices you plan to study and the structural modeling software you will use. Ensure your outline clearly defines your objectives and deliverables.
2. Study of damper types (viscous, friction, yielding)
10 marks 7d
Prepare a comparative summary table describing viscous, friction, and yielding dampers, including their working principles, typical applications, and key performance parameters. Support your table with concise notes explaining the advantages and limitations of each type. Submit both the table and notes as a single PDF document.
3. Integration into structural model
10 marks 7d
Develop a structural model of your selected building in your chosen software, and integrate at least one example of each damper type into appropriate locations. Submit annotated screenshots showing the placement and configuration of the dampers, along with a brief explanation of your modeling choices.
4. Seismic analysis
15 marks 7d
Run seismic analyses on your damper-integrated structural model using a representative earthquake ground motion. Present plots of key response metrics (e.g., inter-story drift, base shear) and summarize the observed effects of the dampers. Submit your analysis files, plots, and a short interpretation of the results.
5. Performance comparison with non-dissipative structures
15 marks 9d
Model the same structure without any energy dissipation devices and repeat the seismic analysis. Compare the results side-by-side with the damper-equipped structure, focusing on quantitative differences in performance metrics. Submit a comparative table, relevant plots, and a concise discussion highlighting the benefits of energy dissipation devices.
