Optimal design of fluid viscous dampers for buildings

One of the natural disasters called earthquake has always threatened the human live and their properties. Due to the damage of the structure and its content, many lives and economy of the nation have been suffered. Therefore, the main objective of this report is to reduce inter-storey drifts and flo...
