Abstract [English]

The primary objective of this research paper is to investigate the effectiveness of Viscous Dampers and Viscous Dampers with Base Isolation in bridge construction, particularly for minimizing displacement during seismic events. As seismic resilience becomes increasingly crucial in the design and construction of bridges, this study seeks to explore how integrating a viscous damper with base isolation can significantly reduce structural displacement and enhance overall performance under dynamic loading conditions.
In this research, artificial intelligence programming in Python will be employed to simulate and analyze the behavior of viscous dampers within bridge systems. Key parameters such as mass, frequency, sway frequency, wind load, seismic load, correlation heatmaps, and displacement will be evaluated to understand the dynamic interaction between the damping systems and bridge performance. The study will leverage machine learning techniques to process large datasets and identify patterns that inform the optimal design and placement of viscous dampers and base isolation units.
The research will provide a detailed analysis of how these damping technologies affect the seismic response of bridges, offering insights into their role in reducing structural damage and enhancing safety. Additionally, the findings will assist engineers in making data-driven decisions to improve the seismic resilience of bridge structures. Ultimately, this study aims to contribute valuable knowledge for advancing the use of innovative damping solutions, ensuring safer, more resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding seismic hazards.
