Seismic Performance Evaluation of RC Building Connected with and without Viscous Damper

Abstract

Structures are mainly subjected to various types of loading conditions such as earthquake, wind loads etc. For earthquake zone areas, the structures are designed considering seismic forces. The structure which are present in higher earthquake zone area are liable to get damaged or collapsed, hence to increase the safety of these structure few retrofitting techniques or addition of materials to stabilize the structures against the earthquake forces are done. And if the retrofitting techniques are adopted then cost plays an important role and possibly few spaces will be compromised depend upon the type of methods adopted. Later the structure may be strengthened by adding materials externally to transfer the lateral loads i.e. some protective devices have been developed. In modern seismic design, damping devices are used to reduce the seismic energy and enable the control of the structural response of the structure to that earthquake excitation. The dissertation work is concerned with the comparison of the seismic evaluation of RC buildings connected with and without viscous damper. Response spectrum method is used to analyse seismic behavior of G+7 storey building with and without viscous damper. In response spectrum method, earthquake load is applied in both x and y direction. For the analysis purpose ETABS 2015 software is used by considering seismic zone IV as per IS 1893:2002(part 1) code. Results of these analyses are discussed in terms of various parameters such as maximum absolute displacement, absolute acceleration, absolute velocity, storey shear, storey drift. The comparison of these various parameters is done. From these comparison it is concluded that maximum absolute displacement, absolute acceleration, storey shear, storey drift values are more in case of RC building without damper as compared to RC building with damper.
