Abstract

Abstract: Frequent earthquakes around the world and the large number of buildings at risk have made it essential to focus on controlling how structures respond to these events. This demand has driven the increased use of structural response control methods globally. This study investigates the seismic performance of multi-storied Reinforced Concrete (RC) Buildings, distinguishing between Regular and Irregular Plan , with a focus on the role of Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs). The study aims to quantify the improvements in seismic resilience provided by these damping devices in mitigating the adverse effects of seismic events. Buildings having Regular and Irregular Plans are analyzed, with and without FVD using ETABS2018. The story responses in terms of Pseudo Spectral Accelerations, Maximum Displacement, Story Drift and Story Shear have been compared. The results of the Time History Analysis represent the effectiveness of dampers in improving the structural response and the damping demand on structural systems
