Strategic placement of viscous dampers for seismic structural design

Abstract:

Seismic design with viscous devices is an effective means of dissipating seismic energy and protecting the main structural system from permanent damage. Despite numerous damper placement methods available, there lacks consensus on the best method, thus leaving design engineers without recommended placement strategies.

The purpose of this research is to investigate strategic placement of viscous dampers for seismic design and to offer design recommendations for placing dampers, vertic...
