Abstract
In recent years, many houses were destroyed in destructive earthquakes in the world. It is important to control the vibration for protection from destruction of house. In this paper, two story houses are focused on and a new type of damper using silicon oil and permanent magnet is proposed. Oil and magnet damper is connected to the ceiling of the first story and the foundation. The effectiveness of the damper is examined experimentally. It is concluded that the peaks of the response curves are reduced when damper is used.
