Abstract
This study investigates the cyclic behavior of steel frames equipped with combined Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRB) and friction dampers. With the increasing occurrence of destructive earthquakes worldwide and their impact on urban structures, the need for earthquake-resistant structural design has become more pressing. Steel structures, due to their favorable properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and ductility, are widely used in construction projects. This study particularly focuses on combined dampers, which can significantly enhance the performance of structures under dynamic and seismic loads. Previous research has shown that the combination of BRB and friction dampers can lead to reduced displacements, improved dynamic performance, and decreased damage to structural members. However, challenges such as the lack of standardized design guidelines, insufficient analytical models, and uncertainties related to damper behavior still exist. Using a meta-analytical approach, this study collects and analyzes existing data from reputable databases to identify the challenges and future directions in this field. The results indicate that combined dampers can serve as effective tools for improving the seismic safety of structures. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the need for additional research on the long-term effects and fatigue induced by cyclic loads on dampers. This study is proposed as a reliable reference for researchers and engineers in designing and improving the seismic performance of steel structures.
