Damping Study of a Frame-corewall Structure with Friction Energy Dissipation

Energy dissipation design is made for a frame-corewall structure. The interstory drift angles and structural dissipation ability for earthquake under seismic are analyzed by ETABS software for both the ordinary structure without friction energy dissipation bracing and two types structures with friction energy dissipation bracings.By comparison,the results show that the frame-corewall structure with friction energy dissipation bracings can control the effects which earthquake exerts on structure more efficiently,and the added structural stiffness and earthquake energy dissipation ability which the energy dissipation bracings between the frame-corewall are better than the ones between external frame.
