Experimental study on the performance of ENTA damper systems in a two-story RC moment frame under cyclic loading

Key Points

• Improved performance of ENTA damper systems was observed under cyclic loading, enhancing structural stability.
• Peak load resistance increased by 25% when dampers were implemented, highlighting their effectiveness.
• Testing employed a two-story reinforced concrete moment frame model to simulate real-world conditions.
• Findings suggest that incorporating damper systems may significantly enhance resilience against earthquakes.
