Abstract

This study evaluates metallic yield dampers, specifically slit steel dampers, for protecting steel beam-to-column connections during seismic events. Finite element model simulations were conducted for the damper and its connection. Analysis of circular parameters, like the radius slot, showed that appropriately sized slit dampers exhibit advantageous seismic behavior. Moment-rotation, hysteresis curves, and plastic stresses comparisons indicate efficient energy absorption. The maximum moment was 25% lower than conventional samples. The slit steel damper model with a ductility factor of 3.5 allows significant plastic deformation before potential failure. Results emphasize the slit damper's potential for optimal performance in steel frames, suggesting its use for efficient energy absorption.
