Abstract

The design procuress for toggle-brace-damper system is to complex. Particularly for those engineers who not have any much experiences in this area. In this paper, a comprehensive economic geometric design steps of the novel toggle-brace-damper system to enhance in new or retrofit existing structure is presented. Nonlinear time history analyses are carried out in Opensees.
