I. INTRODUCTION
The steady decrease of the successive amplitudes of
vibration of a structure by the dissipation of vibration energy
is known as damping. The energy dissipation concept allows
seismic energy into the building and the capacity of the
structure to absorb this energy is made high through
appropriate devices. By adding suitable damping
mechanisms into the lateral load resisting systems, the
earthquake energy is dissipated as the structure sways back
and forth due to seismic loading and helps in lowering the
overall displacements of the structures. Therefore, to
achieve reduction in response, a practical solution is to Fig. 1: Typical Fluid Viscous Damper

and lateral drifts.
 For economic reasons we can provide damping in
the range of 5% to 15% as it gives satisfactory
results.
The more damping a building possesses, the sooner
it will stop vibrating--which of course is highly desirable
from the standpoint of earthquake performance. Today,
some of the more advanced techniques of earthquake
resistant design and construction employ added damping
devices like shock absorbers to increase artificially the
intrinsic damping of a building and so improve its
earthquake performance.
