Influence of structure mass on the behavior of seismic energy hydraulic dissipation devices

Résumé

Since many solutions exist today in the field of structure isolation against the destructive action of earthquakes, the authors present a simple solution that can provide complete protection against shock and vibration both as a result of road traffic and seismic actions. The proposed solution is represented by hydraulic energy dissipation device, as a passive system for structural isolation. Based on a case study, is highlighted the evolution of involved parameters in device operation according to isolated structure mass.
