Types of Dampers and their Seismic Performance During an Earthquake

Abstract

AbSTrAcT This paper investigates types of dampers and their performance during earthquake. Also, they have investigated the tall buildings in the world and satisfactory level of damper performance has been studied. And the results show that no only dampers have an acceptable seismic behavior against lateral forces such as wind and earthquake forces. But it has reduced construction limitations of multi-storey building.
