Enhancing Seismic Capacity of Pile-Supported Wharves Using Yielding Dampers
Figure 8
Dependency of (a) damper efficiency and (b) damper maximum ductility ratio on frequency content of the ground motions. Case 1: period = 0.6 s, stiffness ratio = 1, and yielding force-deck weight ratio = 0.05. Case 2: period = 0.6 s, stiffness ratio = 4, and yielding force-deck weight ratio = 0.10.
