| Abstract: |
In the design of common residential and office buildings the consideration of seismic loads causes significant costs especially when prefabricated elements are used. The application of anti-seismic devices can help to reduce the inner forces. This can be realized by adding elastic horizontal joints to the shear walls using elastomeric bearings. An evaluation of the efficiency of such constructions is show in this study for buildings of three to ten floors. |
