Abstract

Numerical simulations of a 10-storey reinforced concrete building are conducted to investigate the effectiveness of fluid viscous damper (FVD) for control of structures under dynamic earthquake loading. The responses of the structure without FVD are compared to the responses of the structure with FVD. Various damping coefficient and various installation locations of dampers are studied to evaluate the effectiveness of the FVD approach.
