This presentation highlights the effect of Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs) on the seismic performance of adjacent buildings connected through a ped-way. A part of this project also deals with the Qualitative Damage Analysis of the structure during an earthquake, with and without FVDs.

2. OBJECTIVES
To study the effect of Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs)
on response of adjacent buildings during a past
earthquake (El Centro).
To perform Qualitative Damage Analysis of the
structure under earthquake excitation, with and
without FVDs.

8. FVDs consist of a closed cylinder filled with viscous fluid.
The movement of a piston in that cylinder causes a
friction and energy of the motion can be dissipated. For
non-linear FVDs, the force (𝑓𝐷) - velocity (𝑢) relation is;
𝒇 𝑫 = 𝒄 𝜶 𝒔𝒈𝒏(𝒖) 𝒖 𝜶 (Lin & Chopra, 2002)
Where: 𝒄 𝜶 – damping coefficient (571 Kips-sec/in)
𝜶 – positive exponent, 0.35 – 1.0 (0.5 in model)
sgn(𝑢) – signum function
𝜶 = 1.0 represents the linear FVDs and 𝜶 = 0 represents
the pure friction damper.

17. Immediate Occupancy, SP-l: A stage where very limited
structural damage has occurred.
Damage Control, SP-2: A range of post-earthquake damage
states that could vary from SP-I to SP-3.
Life Safety, SP-3: At this level the risk of life-
threatening injury from structural damage is very low.
Limited Safety, SP-4: A range of post-earthquake damage
states that are less than SP-3 and better than SP-5.
Structural Stability, SP-5: A level at which structure is on
the verge of experiencing partial or total collapse.

18. CASE 1
Roof Displacement > 10 inch
As expected from performance point
displacement, at displacements greater
than 6.5 inch the performance of the
structure became poor. Damage-level
hinges were formed for displacements
greater than 10in which means that the
structure is on the verge of global or
local failure under the given earthquake
load.
19. As the maximum displacement, i.e.
6.8 inch, was very close to
performance point displacement (6.5
inch), Only Immediate Occupancy
level hinges were formed for
displacements lesser than 7 inch.
Thus, for case-6, structure is safe
from stability as well as life safety
point of view under the given
earthquake load.
CASE 6
Roof Displacement < 7 inch
20. • Results showed a significant reduction in lateral
deflection and velocity of the structures when viscous
dampers were added. However, not much improvement
was observed in Acceleration and base shear.
• Their was a significant improvement in performance
level of the structure under earthquake when dampers
were added.
• Optimum level of performance depends on the type of
structure and the level of performance required by
the place holder.
