A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON ANALYSIS OF RCC FRAMED STRUCTURE USING VISCOUS DAMPER AND TUNED MASS DAMPER

Abstract

The earthquakes are most dangerous and unpredictable in nature. The seismic behavior of the structure is always an area of concern and requires special attention from structural designers. Presence of plan irregularity further complicates the seismic behavior of the structure. and also make the structure more vulnerable to seismic forces. Push over analysis has gaining property as an effective tool to quantify the seismic vulnerability of structures. Push over method is a good method deal with irregular structure. Current research objective is to know seismic performance of structure when we apply various dampers to the structure like Viscous damper and Tuned Mass Damper. In current research a G+10 Storey RCC irregular structures has been modeled and analyzed. The parameters compared are Storey displacement, Storey drift, and also time period. An attempt was made to study and quantify the improvement in seismic capacity of the structure. The result of analysis reveled that the dampers applied to the structure reduces displacement, drift, and time period.
