Abstract

Concentric bracing systems are a popular solution for strengthening moment frames due to their high lateral stiffness, ease of installation, and low cost. However, buckling in compression members can result in sudden loss of strength and less deformability. Researchers have suggested using steel slit dampers to increase deformability and energy dissipation in this system by directing damage away from bracing members. In this study, 265 finite element models were analyzed in ABAQUS software based on previous experimental investigations and the installation configuration of the combined elliptical slit elements with Chevron bracing system in a moment frame. The effects of varying each geometric parameter of the element, including thickness, width, height, and number of slits, as well as the minor diameter of the elliptical slit, on the behavioral characteristics have been investigated in a three-dimensional parametric space. These characteristics are such as elastic stiffness, ductility, force capacity, and cyclic energy dissipation. Finally, and based on conducted numerical analysis, suitable ranges for each geometric parameter have been proposed to facilitate optimal design of the element.
