Abstract
In response to increasing urban population and limited space, high‐rise buildings have become essential. However, as building height increases, natural frequency decreases, making structures more susceptible to dynamic loads such as earthquakes, especially in seismic zones like Zone 3, 4 and 5. This study evaluates efficiency of Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVD) in reducing earthquake‐induced vibrations in G+20, G+25 and G+30 storey reinforced concrete buildings in zone 5. A total of 18 models were developed using ETABS software, with and without FVD and analyzed using the Dynamic analysis i.e. linear Response Spectrum Method as per IS 1893‐2016 standards. Seismic responses such as displacement, storey drift, base shear and time period were compared to determine the optimum placement of FVDs with (5) different structural configuration. This research is vital for improving the stability and protection of high‐rise buildings in earthquake‐prone regions and provides practical guidance for engineers in optimizing damper placement to mitigate seismic effects in tall structures.
