Performance-based placement of manufactured viscoelastic dampers for design response spectrum

In this study, a viscoelastic damper (VED) is developed by using a VE material with low temperature dependence, and a performance-based placement-design procedure of VEDs is developed for finding the storywise distribution of VEDs in a building such that each peak interstory drift coincides with the...
