Abstract
In this paper is presented a new parametric finite elements model of SERB-194C [1] device which is used in protecting the civil engineering structures during earthquakes by limitating the drifts of building stories and dissipating the energy received by the building structure during the earth surface shaking. The goal of this simulation is to determine the influence of the device components dimensions on the variation of forces-displacements device curve. Modifying the device components dimensions, the force-displacements device curve is changing the shape and the area which are related with the capacity of building drift limitation of SERB-194C device. By changing the hysteretic loop shape and dimensions this device can be optimized for different buildings and structures in order to properly diminish the story drift during ground shaking.
