| Zusammenfassung: | 1. Field of the Invention
A multi-floor building is protected from seismic forces by coupling a damping system between a pair of truss columns of truss systems, each movable in a cantilever motion in response to the seismic forces to move opposite nodes of the damping system along an enhanced working stroke as compared to prior art frame constructions. |
