Abstract
Recently, various types of supplemental damping devices have been developed around the world to minimize the likelihood of structural and non-structural damage. Supplemental damping devices can absorb energy and add damping to buildings to reduce their seismic response. Among other systems, supplemental viscous dampers have gained increasing popularity in recent years which is attributed to their negligible influence on the fundamental natural period of structures and their ability to provide this damping with negligible damage to the units themselves. This presentation illustrates the seismic design and strengthening of structures with viscous dampers.
