Abstract

In this work the seismic analysis of a softstorey building is carried out by introducing viscoelastic damper.
Delhi is the third earthquake prone city in India and hence the structures must be constructed to withstand the seismic
effect. Thus to control the seismic performance, it is necessary to install dampers. Then the structure model is analysed
using ETABS. The result shows the reduction of seismic response of softstoreid building by using the viscoelastic
dampers.
