Comparison between seismic performance of G+5 building with and without Fluid Viscous Dampers

Earthquake causes numerous loss of lives and damage to property. On 18 September 2011, Sikkim also experienced a major earthquake of magnitude 6.9 resulting in large-scale destruction. Therefore, as an attempt to prevent such scenarios, there are various techniques available to manage this problem one of which is by using dampers on building structures. The main objective of this study is to compare the seismic performance of G+5 building with and without dampers. The modelling and analysis in this study are done using “ETABs” software for G+5 story building as the maximum no. of floors allowed in Sikkim is six. The proposed model showed a drastic reduction in the displacement of the building using FVDs.
