Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical case study of the effectiveness of supplemental passive damping devices in reducing structural response during seismic excitation. A six story special moment resistant reinforced concrete frame is studied with and without the aid of supplemental dampers. Response predictions are presented for each case. Preliminary damper design requirements are presented for a new facility implementing the supplemental damping system to reduce seismic damage and improve the post earthquake operational capability of the facility.
