Results of the numerical example.
| | | Without damper | With damper | | Earthquake event | Maximum middle pile drift (cm) | RMS middle pile displacement (cm) | Maximum middle pile displacement (cm) | RMS middle pile displacement (cm) | Maximum damper ductility ratio |
| | Northridge | 6.62 | 2.76 | 3.35 | 0.99 | 5.7 | | Parkfield | 1.59 | 0.60 | 1.47 | 0.35 | 2.5 | | Kobe | 9.51 | 4.99 | 5.94 | 2.51 | 10.1 |
