Although the incidence of floor vibration problems appears to be on the rise, the use of mechanical damping devices to control vibrations is limited. In a recent survey of vibration control methods, Murray reports that passive-mechanical damping methods, including viscous damping, visco-elastic damping, and tuned-mass dampers, have often gone untried outside the laboratory or have had marginal ...

In a damage avoidance design perspective, seismic rocking of rigid-like blocks, such as masonry walls, precast r.c./timber panels, art objects, etc., can be controlled through viscous elastic dampers. This paper discusses how to perform risk assessment walls undamped and damped by viscous-elastic dampers installed at the top them. Firstly, preliminary fragility analysis allows understanding rol...

In this paper, the development of non-linear building isolation systems is overviewed. The study summarizes commonly used linear in two categories, which are base and inter-storey systems. Typical isolators including Lead-Rubber Bearings Friction Pendulum viscous damper Tuned Mass Damper reviewed. analysis design also reported. After that, introduced from aspects based on their dynamic characte...

Abstract earthquake event is changeable by nature, which has the capacity make devastating operational damage to a structure and collapse in due course leads huge loss of life property loss. Because this, much realization initiated many researchers for progress structural rheostat techniques such as passive controlling active system are associated systems Tuned Mass Damper, Fluid Viscous Damper...
