Abstract:
A rigid substructure ( 12 ) tied to a restrained column ( 16 ) at different floors undergoes rigid body rotation due to lateral dynamic loading. Flexural members ( 18 ) that are connected to the substructure ( 12 ) and another anchor column ( 14 ) resist the rigid body rotation and undergo vertical deflections. Damped diagonals ( 20 ) connected to common nodes of the rigid substructure and flexural members, for one embodiment, receive amplified displacements and more effectively dissipate energy. Flexural members restore the structure to the unloaded position. The system does not require moment connections and can work with flexure induced in simply supported beams. The system is highly effective and may remain elastic under maximum considered earthquake ground motions.

Claim (Index 2):
The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the flexural member is one beam at floor one of two consecutive floors; and the rigid substructure is comprised of a segment of a restrained column connected to the floor beam at floor one and extended to floor two, an undamped diagonal connected from one end to the restrained column at floor two and from the other end to a point in the middle of a floor beam which is not necessarily at the center of the beam, and the segment of the floor beam between the restrained column and the end of the undamped diagonal; and the damped diagonal connected to the single active node on the flexural member and to the anchor node at floor two where floor numbers do not refer to the elevation or order of the floors and can be reversed.
