Energy dissipation devices, like dampers or friction devices, can improve earthquake-resistant building design by reducing the transfer of seismic forces to the building. These devices dissipate energy through deformation or friction, which can reduce the building’s acceleration and displacement during an earthquake. Energy dissipation devices can be used in combination with other techniques, like base isolation or shear walls, to improve building performance during earthquakes.
