Abstract
The objective of this article is to compare the seismic behavior of two types of energy dissipators applied in a multi-family home: the viscous fluid dissipator and the Shear Link Bozzo (SLB) dissipator. The methodology used is a quantitative and descriptive approach, which allows a detailed structural evaluation of both systems. Two dissipative models are included in the analysis: one traditional, which uses viscous fluid heatsinks, and another contemporary, based on SLB heatsinks. The Tacna accelerometric records were used with an earthquake intensity of 6.2, this for both heatsinks. The results indicate that the viscous fluid dissipator significantly reduces structural drift, with 84.15% in the the structure. For its part, the model with SLB heatsinks achieves an even greater reduction in drift, reaching 91.86% in the X direction and 95.94% in the Y direction, also used in columns and beams. This system demonstrates superior performance in terms of seismic control, providing optimized structural protection. It is concluded that, through a comparative analysis between the 2 modeling, the SLB heatsink presents optimal performance, positioning it as an effective alternative for seismic protection in similar multifamily buildings, contributing to structural safety and social well-being in seismic contexts.
