Title:

Magneto Rheological Damper Equipped Mass Driver (MR-MD)
Value Proposition:

Step by step design know-how for seismically retrofitting a primary structure using controllable secondary mass driver. Best suited for improving the performance of seismically deficient RCC structures against earthquakes.
Summary Application:
  • Seismic retrofitting of RCC structures
  • Strengthening of RCC structures using damping addition principle
Advantages:
  • Seismic retrofitting using SA-MRMD principle
  • Secondary structure is the non-linear magneto-rheological (MR) damper equipped mass driver (MD)
  • Design charts to aid the selection of suitable market-available MR damper depending on required level of damping
  • Step-by-step design methodology to include MR-MD to a primary structure
