Abstract:
An earthquake is in technical term, the vibration, generated by a sudden dislocation of segment of the crust. If the earthquake occurs in a populated area, it may cause many deaths; injuries and extensive property damage. Over the past couple of decades there is great development in earthquake protective systems in the structure. These protective systems are in the form of seismic isolation system and supplementary energy dissipation devices. In these systems, mechanical devices are incorporated into the frame of the structure and absorb the energy from the earthquake reducing the effects on the structure. In order to reduce the seismic hazards on building system energy absorbing passive damping devices are used. There are various types and configuration of dampers available in market. In this paper performance of fluid viscous damper install in building system is investigated. In present paper the investigation has been focused on performance of passive damping system in a RC building. Behavior of 24 storey building with different damper location was analyzed by using ETABS Software. Response spectrum and equivalent static method of analysis were carried out. The basic parameters considered to ascertain the performance of the damping system are storey displacement, storey drift, base shear and time period. The best location of dampers installed in the system is evaluated based on the response of the system on these parameters.
