Abstract
A practical system that combines a flexible first story with sliding frictional interfaces is described. The system utilizes Teflon sliders at the top of the first story reinforced concrete framed shearwalls to carry a portion of the superstructure. Energy dissipation is provided by the first story ductile columns and by the Teflon sliders. Utilizing this concept the seismic response characteristics of a multistory frame are analyzed and discussed.
