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

Table 7

Comparison between optimal solution and two alternative methods for stiff soil.

Method	Position	Friction forces [kN]	Maximum displacement at Node 44 [m]
Three optimized dampers
Alternative 1
Alternative 2		21.496 for each damper
Method	Position	Friction forces [kN]	Maximum interstorey drift [m]
Three optimized dampers
Alternative 1
Alternative 2		21.496 for each damper
