Comportamiento de estructuras de acero con y sin disipadores de energía tipo TADAS, ubicadas en la ciudad de Quito, por el método del espectro de capacidad

Abstract

In this work the calculation process for a nonlinear pseudo-dynamic modal cyclic pushover analysis is described, starting from the moment curvature and moment rotation curves analysis, stiffness matrices of elements with damaged sections, and basic pushover analysis methods. All this is done in M language programs in Matlab platform. Later, for buildings with supplemental damping, the energy dissipation devices are analyzed by usual approximated methods and more accurate methods. Finally with these programs a study of various configurations of buildings from 1 to 10 stories tall is made in order to obtain a clear picture of the advantages and disadvantages of buildings with energy dissipation devices.
