Recently, in the field of design and construction, the use of three-dimensional information modeling technology using BIM design has been increasing. But there is a limitation in its library for efficient design. In particular, the library totally lacks vibration control system for special elements. In this study, for the implementation of the vibration control system, it has been created a library of out-of-plan buckling resistance steel damper using custom component. Further more, the developed system and its properties were defined by the design module.
Steel panel dampers are very economical, easy to maintain and widely used as vibration control devices for building structure. However, this dampers are fractured in the center part under repeated loading so that the strength degrades after attaining the maximum resisting capacity. This issue and other many problems had been pointed out by many researchers. In this paper, the performance of steel panel damper has been enhanced by introducing cover plates on the panel on both side so that the lateral out of plane buckling of panel was protected. Thus, the deformation behavior as well as its hysteretic characteristics of a newly proposed Out-of-plan buckling resisting steel damper (BRSD) were studied
