Abstract
The optimum design of a first story damping system of multistory shear type structures is considered. Analytical expressions, for the case of stationary white noise ground accelerations, are derived for maximum displacements of each floor. Based on these, suitable objective functions are defined. Parametric study for the determination of the effect of structural damping and structure's flexibility on the control quantities is performed and the optimal design of several structures is carried out.
