Abstract EN

The consequences of adding supplemental damping in buildings were investigated.

The analysis included response determinations and energy component evaluations.

The reliability of modal superposition was studied by considering the effects of damping nonproportionality.

Four procedures were proposed to calculate the response of a structure having supplemental damping and alternative patterns of damper installation to increase the efficiency of the damper in reducing the response were considered.

An example ten-story building was used to illustrate these analyses and the feasibility of introducing supplemental damping in structures.
