The Study of EADAS Elliptical Steel Damper Function in Seismic Resisting of Steel Frames

The present article seek to investigate the function of elliptical steel der function in steel frames seismic resisting. The elliptical der is a kind of earthquake energy dissipater in structure which acts based on the steel yielding feature. Thus, this der in frame lateral displacement mechanism is expected to have a satisfying hysteretic behavior in terms of energy absorption is on acceptable level. To study the EADAS (elliptical added ding and stiffness) elliptical der function Abaqus software was used in seismic resisting of steel frames. To do the analysis one span- one floor which was modeled with eight kinds of suggested der was used. The basis of the analysis method is based on the finite element method and a cyclic loading curve was used and the frame will be pushed to the failure of the ders. The results of the present study indicates that through the addition of this der with the damage focus in der the structure elements remain in elastic zone and without any damage bear the lateral load. The der causes an increase in ductility and the frame energy absorption hysteretic and it can be used for seismic resisting of steel frames.
