Abstract

Civil structures are subjected to various types of loading, which induce severe damage to the structures. Many techniques have been developed for structural rehabilitation; one of the emerging technologies is the use of energy dissipation systems such as fluid viscous dampers (referred to hereafter by FVD). In this chapter, the effect of these devices on the dynamic behavior of an RC building is investigated, with an optimal choice of the linear FVD parameter (i.e., damping coefficient), using a simplified and effective approach. It was found that the maximum inter-story drift of the analyzed retrofitted structures can be significantly reduced compared to the original ones.
