Abstract


This paper presents the results of research carried out to determine the variation of viscous fluid dampers force as a function of building height. For this study, two damping percentages of relative level displacements, 40% and 50%, were considered. The study was carried out using a research-based software program made by Ionescu and Negru that involves a linear dynamic analysis based on a set of seismic accelerograms. Two buildings were considered, one with 11 floors and the other with 6 floors. The results of the study showed that the viscous fluid dampers force is reduced by approximately 72% for the 6-story building compared to the 11-story building, regardless of the damping percentage chosen for the analysis.
