Simulation of three-dimensional seismic building response including nonlinearity and semiactive control /

The seismic response of a three-dimensional framed structure with yielding of the girders and controlled by a semiactive magnetorheological damper system is numerically simulated. The simplifying assumptions of the numerical model are outlined, and the techniques used to reduce the number of degrees...
