Seismic analysis of multi-storey structures: comparing the influence of fluid viscous dampers and shear wall

Key Points

• Comparison reveals fluid viscous dampers improve seismic response significantly more than shear walls, enhancing stability.
• Key metrics show a 30% reduction in lateral displacement with dampers when subjected to seismic loads.
• Experimental simulations assess the dynamic response of structures under different seismic scenarios, providing critical insights.
• Findings support the adoption of fluid viscous dampers in earthquake-prone areas to enhance the resilience of multi-storey buildings.
