Abstract

According to current seismic design codes, in the case of rare seismic events, structures are designed to concentrate the seismic damage into dissipative fuses, characterized by high ductility and energy dissipation capacity. This approach allows the achievement of the safety requirements, with considerable damage to the structural components, thus compromising the building’s reparability. To overcome these drawbacks, recent efforts are aimed at developing innovative seismicresilient structures. In this direction, relevant research studies have been carried out within the RFCS-FREEDAM project, demonstrating the high potential of beam-to-column joints equipped with friction devices in drastically reducing the seismic damage of steel Moment Resisting Frames. The FREEDAM technology is going to be implemented in a demonstration building to be erected at the University of Salerno. The present paper illustrates the preliminary design and results of the numerical simulations in OPENSEES. Non-linear static analyses and Incremental Dynamic Analyses are performed to obtain the engineering demand parameters of interest while accounting for the record-to-record variability.
