Numerical approach for improving and enhancing the behavior of I-shaped damper using diagonal stiffeners added to the web of the damper

Comprehensive researches to consider the behaviour of the metallic dampers have proven that the I-shaped link, designed to act as shear mechanism, serves as a ductile fuse. However, a key limitation is the reduced strength and stiffness of the system when these links are directly...
