A New Assessment in the Simultaneous Optimization of Friction Dampers in Plane and Spatial Civil Structures

Table 12

Comparison between optimal solution and two alternative methods.

Method	Position	Friction forces [kN]	Maximum displacement at Node 44 [m]
Four optimized dampers
Alternative 1
Alternative 2		for each damper
Method	Position	Friction forces [kN]	Maximum interstorey drift [m]
Four optimized dampers
Alternative 1
Alternative 2		for each damper
