Seismic Responses of an Added-Story Frame Structure with Viscous Dampers

The damping ratio of an added-story frame structure is established based on complex damping theory to determine the structure seismic response. The viscous dampers are selected and arranged through target function method. A significant damping effect is obtained when a small velocity index is select...
