Abstract: A new damping system, the viscoelastic coupling damper (VCD), has been developed to enhance the wind and seismic performance of coupled shear wall high-rise buildings by adding high damping elements in place of reinforced ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic coupling dampers (VCDs) are used for the seismic and wind protection of tall buildings. In the past, several tests have been carried out on VCDs under severe loading conditions for concept validation purposes ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simplified coupled thermal-mechanical model for the modelling of viscoelastic dampers with temperature- and frequency-dependent properties subjected to long-term and short-term dynamic loading due to ...
