Damping performs essential function in format of earthquake resistant structures, which lower the change of the shape when they are subjected to lateral loads or earthquake. In the existing study fluid viscous dampers (FVD) are used to consider the response of RCC buildings on sloping ground. The important challenge of a structure is to endure the lateral loads and switch them to the foundation and to control the story displacement. In order to make structure earthquake resistant, (FVD) have been used. The building is modeled in ETAB 2018 and modeled with different location of FVD. After the study results show building with fluid viscous dampers (FVD) at diagonal bracing shows better performance.

Abstract Damping plays a major role in design of structures resistant to earthquakes. The damping reduces the effective of the structure when they are assigned to lateral loads by energy dissipation. The number of dampers is available and in use today. Most of the dampers usually isolate the super structure from the substructure, dividing them in order to hamper the flow of vibrations into the superstructure. This classification is termed as base isolation techniques. While, the rest of the damping techniques, dissipates the oncoming vibrations on the superstructure itself and minimizes the damage to the superstructure. In this present study, Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVD) are used extensively over types of dampers. The structure endures two load types, the vertical loads and the sidewise loads, and conveys to the foundation. In order to have earthquake resistant structures, FVD have been used. In the present study, Dissymmetric Buildings are analyzed with and without Fluid Viscous Dampers. The software ETABS 2016 was used. Using Time history analysis in ETABS software, the RC building is considered and the structure is evaluated and connect with and without FVD.

Abstract: In India, about 50-60% of the total area is vulnerable to the seismic activity. Earthquakes are the vibrations or the motion of the ground due to release of energy. The vibrations or ground motion are the important factors to analyze and design, the earthquake resistant structure. So, to reduce the impact of earthquake different efforts has been done in this field. Basically, earthquake exerts lateral as well as vertical forces so to dissipate those forces and the vibration in system earthquake resistant structure has been design. The design of earthquake resistant structures depends on providing stiffness, strength and inelastic deformation which withstand the earthquake forces. As the height of the structure increases the lateral loads acted on the structure increases and decrease in the stiffness, so to counteract those shear walls and different damping devices has been used.

In the past decade, researchers developed the idea of connecting buildings with intelligent activated, semi-active and inactivated damper systemsreduce adjacent buildings response to wind and earthquake. One of the most important damper devices in non-active control is fluid viscous damper.Fluid dampers due to viscous fluidsshow high resistance. High resistance of viscous fluidsagainst the flow is the basicfunctionof fluid viscous dampers. Deformation speed a fluid viscous damper is proportional to the acted forces. Therefore the aim of this paper is to determine the insertion site of fluid viscous dampersto optimize and reduce the consuming costs in adjacent buildings. For this purpose, four different models of connected adjacent buildings with common and different shear stiffness in the software SAP 2000 has been modeled. This study shows that it is not necessarytwo adjacent buildings connected by a damper on all floors, but the less damper in appropriate selected locations can help reduce the earthquake response. And by placing the fluid viscous dampers in selected certainfloors provides more useful structural system for reducing the effects of earthquakes.

AbstractSeismic-induced pounding between adjacent buildings may have serious consequences, ranging from minor damage up to total collapse. Therefore, researchers try to mitigate the pounding problem using different methods, such as coupling the adjacent buildings with stiff beams, connecting them using viscoelastic links, and installing damping devices in each building individually. In the current paper, the effect of using linear and nonlinear fluid viscous dampers to mitigate the mutual pounding between a series of structures is investigated. Nonlinear finite-element analysis of a series of adjacent steel buildings equipped with damping devices was conducted. Contact surfaces with both contactor and target were used to model the mutual pounding. The results indicate that the use of linear or nonlinear dampers leads to the significant reduction in the response of adjacent buildings in series. Moreover, the substantial improvement of the performance of buildings has been observed for almost all stories. From the design point of view, it is concluded that dampers implemented in adjacent buildings should be designed to resist maximum force of 6.20 or 1.90 times the design independent force in the case of using linear or nonlinear fluid viscous dampers, respectively. Also, designers should pay attention to the design of the structural elements surrounding dampers, because considerable forces due to pounding may occur in the dampers at the maximum displaced position of the structure.
