Abstract

Viscoelastic dampers have been successfully applied in building structures to reduce vibration by wind and earthquakes. It may be inefficient or be uneconomical that viscoelastic damper is installed at each story of building structures. Although the number of viscoelastic dampers is reduced, if viscoelastic dampers are installed at only suitable places in building structures, vibration would be controlled by efficiency. In this paper, responses of building structures according to the situation of viscoelastic dampers are compared. Then efficient and economical arrangements of viscoelastic dampers are proposed.
