Seismic Analysis of Irregular Diaphragm Reinforced Concrete Building with Fluid Viscous Dampers

Abstract

Abstract: Fluid viscous damper is the most commonly used tool for controlling structures’ responses. Fluid viscous dampers with different construction technologies are applied in order decrease the responses of structures to the seismic vibrations. During the recent years, controlling structure has turned into a scientific technology to protect structures against wind and earthquake loads. In the present study linear dynamic and non-linear static analysis was adopted to assess the seismic performance of an irregular diaphragm building. Building with and without fluid viscous damper have been taken.The outcomes of the study will be beneficial to assess the performance of existing building vulnerable to seismic loads after the installation of fluid viscous dampers.
