Generally, it is important to minimize unfavorable effects of torsional response to seismic actions in designing building structures. On the other hand, however, this requirement often hinders free architectural planning. An application of hysteretic and viscous dampers in a middle-rise building with large eccentricity is introduced in this paper. Efficiency of the dampers in reducing horizontal and rotational displacements caused by intense seismic actions is verified with time-history response analysis.
