Placement of fluid viscous dampers to reduce total-building seismic damage

Nonstructural damage has been found to critically influence economic losses and building downtime following earthquakes. Attaining a target level of seismic performance mandates the harmonisation of structural and nonstructural performance. Retrofitting buildings with fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) ca...
