PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF HIGH-RISE BUILDING CONSIDERING PLACEMENT AND ATTACH-TYPE OF VISCOUS WALL DAMPERS

Abstract

This paper describes the passive control design performance evaluation method which is considering the influence of the wall viscous damper placement in the high-rise building. The passive control design performance can be evaluated from only two-types of static analysis results without using time history response analysis results. These static analyses can estimate the upper and lower limit of the ratio of the effective deformation as evaluation index of performance. Validity of this evaluation method is demonstrated by comparing with the time history analysis results.
