Application of a direct procedure for the seismic retrofit of a R/C school building equipped with viscous dampers

Several design methods aimed at sizing the viscous dampers to be inserted in building structures have been proposed in the last decades. Among others, the authors proposed a five-step procedure which guides the practical design from the choice of a target reduction in the seismic response of the str...
