ABSTRACT
The field of earthquake has existed in our country for over 35 years now. Indian earthquake
engineers have made significant contributions to safety of several important structures in the
country. However, as the recent earthquakes have shown, the performance of normal
structures during past Indian earthquakes has been less satisfactory. This is mainly due to the
lack of awareness amongst most practising engineers of the special provisions that need to be
followed in earthquake resistant design and thereafter in construction.
Earth constitute one of the greatest hazards of life and property on the earth. Due to
suddenness of their occurrence, they are least understood and most dreaded. The earthquake
resistant construction is considered to be very important to mitigate their effects. This paper
presents the brief essentials of earthquake resistant construction using the technique of
“FLUID VISCOUS DAMPERS” to improve the resistance of building economically.

1.4 BENEFITS OF USING FLUID VISCOUS DAMPERS
Substantial stress reduction – greatly enhanced damping lowers both stress and
deflection throughout a structure. This allows the structure to remain elastic.
Allows designers to reduce cost of the structure by utilizing smaller structural
elements and less complex foundations while improving the dynamic performance of
the structure.
The easily installed passive dampers are extremely reliable with no dependence on
outside energy sources.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The author explains about the type of dampers which has become most popular now a days
for vibration control in the structure. The paper presents a knowledge or introduction to the
behaviour of the damper in seismically affected areas in which the structures are build.
The author conclude that in recent years, the use of seismic or earthquake control system has
been increased but it is very important that selecting the appropriate damper and installing in
the structure to reduce the vibration in the structure.
The building which is used for the proposed study is in Mandalay, Myanmar which comes in
earthquake zone IV. The structure is of 15 story RC structure which is L-shaped used for
residential purpose. The members of the structure are designed according to ACI 318-99 and
load considered according UBC-97. The model of the structure is generated in ETABs v9.7.1
and analysed by using response spectrum method is used for dynamic analysis. As to control
the seismic hazards of the building, the author took two types of damper
The mechanical properties of the damper are taken by the manufacture’s report. The damper
are applied to the base story in X- direction. After the analysis the results are compared.
By comparing the result of the three cases of the proposed structure, the author concluded
that the viscous damper is the most effective for decreasing the seismic response of the
structure. According to the obtained results, the viscous damper reduce the results up to 40%
to 50% but about viscoelastic damper it allows to reduce only 15% to 25% for all parameters.
Hence is concluded that adding dampers to the structure will definitely reduce the seismic
response of the structure.

2.2 SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEWS
The above method used for construction of the Earthquake resisting buildings are:
Fluid Viscous Dampers.
Viscous dampers are the most effective for decreasing the seismic response of the structure.
According to the above literature review Fluid viscous dampers can reduce the deflection upto
40% to 50%.
Mainly used for high-storey buildings.

STORY DRIFTS AND DISPLACEMENTS
Story drift can be defined as the lateral displacement of one level relative to the level
aboveor below it. As per Clause no. 7.11.1 of IS 1893 (Part 1): 2002, the Story drift in any
story due to specified design lateral force with partial load factor of 1.0, shall not exceed
0.004 times the story height. As per modelled story height of 3m the maximum permitted
drift is 12mm.
i.e. Maximum drift permitted = 0.004 x 3000 = 12mm.

CONCLUSION
The analysis was carried out taking into consideration that the buildings are located in zone
‘V’.
The graphs for Story drifts and Story displacement were plotted and were compared with
each model.
1.From the result, it is clear that Building without damper fails under permissible
story drift. As compared to Without damper building, the building having damper at
Corner reduces the maximum drift value by85% which took corner damped building
to safer side.
From the result, it clears that Building with damper at corner location gives good
response under seismic condition and also graph shows that without damper building,
the displacement reached to its peak limit. So, application of damper at corner
reduces the displacement by approximately 60%. Hence, Damper at corner gives
satisfactory result under seismic condition.
