Limit states and failure mechanisms of viscous dampers and the implications for large earthquakes.
Fluid viscous dampers are used to control story drifts and member forces in structures during earthquake events. These elements provide satisfactory performance at the design-level or maximum considered earthquake. However, buildings using fluid viscous dampers have not been subjected to very large...
