Fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) have shown their efficiency as energy-dissipating systems,
reducing the effects induced on structures by dynamic loading conditions like earthquakes …

This paper presents a practical multi-level performance-based optimisation method of
nonlinear viscous dampers (NVDs) for seismic retrofit of existing substandard steel frames. A …

Anti-seismic devices should be designed with proper safety margins against their failure,
because the reliability of the structural system where they are installed is strongly influenced …

This study proposed a winding rope fluid viscous damper (WRFVD) using the winding ropes
to amplify the damping force of a fluid viscous damper. To investigate the dynamic …

Chevron-brace-damper systems (CBDS) have been widely used in frame structures. To
improve the performance of CBDS, a hybrid of the chevron and scissor-jack brace-damper …

The addition of supplemental damping through fluid viscous dampers has been widely
implemented as a seismic protection system for diverse typologies of structures. Typically …

In this paper, an optimization approach for the seismic retrofitting of inelastic moment
resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with nonlinear fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) and negative …

Viscous dampers, as effective energy-dissipation devices, have been widely used for
seismic mitigation of building structures. Due to the intrinsic uncertainties of structural …

Viscous dampers (VDs) are effective and widely used passive devices for the protection of
civil structures, provided that appropriate design is carried out. For this purpose, optimal …
