Slide roof system for dynamic response reduction.

A slide roof system (SRS) is proposed to reduce the dynamic response of buildings to earthquake excitations. A SRS consists of a roof structure, springs and friction materials, providing mass, stiffness and damping, respectively. The method of optimization of stiffness and friction coefficient for t...
