Industrial steel buildings with cranes are usually subjected to a series of lateral forces, including wind loads, frictional drag forces and force due to the impact of moving the bridge of the cranes inside the building. Since industrial steel structures are usually lightweight and low in profile, seismic forces may be relatively low and not taken into consideration. This study focused on limiting the impact of lateral forces on steel industrial building with cranes using a supplementary control system to the bracing system of the structure. The supplemental control system consists mainly of friction dampers called ring spring dampers to absorb input forces and to improve the performance of industrial steel structures exposed to lateral forces.The results showed that the proposed damping system reduces response and displacement of the structure significantly.
