Seismic Parametric Analysis of RC Multi-Storied Buildings with and Without Fluid Viscous Dampers

Abstract

Earthquakes are enormous natural disasters that increase the energy within the structural system, causing catastrophic destruction. Various control systems, such as passive, active, hybrid, and semi active control systems, can be used to dissipate this unwanted energy. The fluid viscous damper is one such dissipation device used in this study. The goal of this project is to use a fluid viscous damper to lessen the seismic response of the Symmetrical and unsymmetrical G+9 structure in ETABS2017. To obtain the seismic response with and without a fluid viscous damper, ETABS2017 was used to analyse symmetrical and unsymmetrical structures with and without a fluid viscous damper. The analysis takes into account nonlinear temporal history, which is derived using fast nonlinear analysis of Electro data. The position and function of dampers are discussed in this study. For seismic evaluation of buildings with and without fluid viscous dampers, the equivalent static approach and response spectrum method are utilised. The structure was examined utilizing ETABs 2017 programming, with seismic zone IV and medium soil (Type II) according to IS 1893-2016. The structure’s exhibition is assessed utilizing story removal, story shear, story float, and modular periods and frequencies. The objective of this study is to about the consequences of static and reaction range examination in both longitudinal and cross over bearings for damper development with and without damper structure.
