Analysis and Study of Seismic Response of a G+13 Multistoried Building for Different Types of Dampers Using Etabs Software

Vibration refers to repeated movements that cause fatigue and decreased function of the structure. An earthquake can emit large amounts of energy that can have a detrimental effect on all parts of a building. Therefore, the reduction of vibration or maintenance of buildings such as bridges, dams, roads and buildings is important for the safety of life and the reduction of economic losses. Different types of dampers are currently being developed to reduce vibration in those structures. One of the solutions to reduce vibration vibrations in a building is to use vibration control devices such as dampers and base isolators. The purpose of this study was to investigate the best earthquake response for different types of base isolators and dampers. A 13 storey building is modelled and responses of Storey displacement, story drifts and overturning moments were determined and compared using ETABS software.
