Improvement of the Pseudo-Dynamic Testing Method for Buildings that are Seismically Protected by Means of Dissipative Devices
The pseudo-dynamic method enables seismic testing of large-scale models by applying slow, varying forces, but it can introduce strain rate effects, especially significant for materials like rubber or silicon. This paper addresses silicone fluid viscous dampers and proposes a correction strategy developed by the European Laboratory for Structural Assessment to extend the method’s applicability. The strategy includes two novel algorithms: a linear filter and a neural network-based correction, both optimized with experimental data. Validation tests showed that these new methods outperform the previous linear correction, with the neural network-based approach being the most accurate and versatile.
