Abstract
A lateral load resisting system for transferring lateral forces from the top of a building to the foundation. The lateral load resisting system includes a main frame, a secondary frame, and energy absorbing mechanisms with high damping characteristics, such as energy dissipative cushion dampers, configured to connect the secondary frame with the main frame. The energy absorbing mechanisms are configured to dissipate energy through their deformation, where, in response to lateral movement, the energy absorbing mechanisms generate only lateral forces that form force couples between the supports of the secondary frame. In this manner, by implementing energy absorbing mechanisms with high damping characteristics, the lateral load resisting system is able to absorb energy during lateral loading conditions, such as an earthquake, to prevent damage to the structure.
