Abstract
This paper explores the use of mass/stiffness eccentricity in simple buildings to damp the response to excitation due to base motion. Examples include one- and two-story buildings when discussing low-rise structures and shear beams when discussing taller structures. Base motions include a simple step function and earthquake input. A broad range of efficiencies is achieved depending upon the system eccentricity and the available viscous damping. Asymptotic efficiencies of 50% are indicated in some cases. Optimal parameters are discussed.
