SEISMIC ENERGY DISSIPATION SYSTEMS – a REVIEW

This paper presents a review of the various seismic energy dissipation devices and practices used in recent times. This agenda of discussion is imperative as natural catastrophes, particularly earthquakes are known to be very disastrous. These methodologies have been known to improve structural resilience for the same and therefore proving that investigation on the same would be beneficial in enhancing the safety of structures. This paper has a culmination of research articles published between 2014–2019. Particular focus is given to dampers, damper based hybrid systems as well as the application of dampers in hybrid base isolation systems and in precast connection systems.With the research presented in this paper, there is scope for further investigation and the pragmatic application of the same.
