PTAN 2018 RCC-CW Seismic Dissipative Devices
Reference: AFC137
Prepared within the framework of AFCEN, this report puts together experience and practice of seismic dissipation on buildings or facilities.
- Part 1 introduces the report.
- Part 2 describes a general approach about seismic design and seismic retrofit.
- Part 3 gives five examples of industrial practice.
- Part 4 elaborates tentative technical guidelines for the use of seismic dissipative devices.
- Part 5 gives two sets of examples of application of the tentative technical guidelines.
This study report appears a good tool for the engineer wishing to get a first insight in the way dissipative devices could be used in the seismic design or seismic retrofit of large buildings or industrial facilities.
