Self centering structural systems with combination of hysteretic and viscous energy dissipations.

This paper presents an innovative set of high seismic resistant structural systems termed Advanced Flag Shaped (AFS) systems, where self centering elements are used with combinations of various alternative energy dissipation elements (hysteretic, viscous or visco-elastic plastic) in series and/or in...
