A study of the effect of adding viscoelastic dampers between adjacent buildings to reduce pounding /

The addition of damper and beam elements between ographics. adjacent buildings is studied to determine if such connections help reduce the damage caused by structural pounding between these buildings. Each building is modeled using a two dimensional frame composed of non-linear beam elements capable...
