This paper presents a literature review on viscous dampers. Civil constructions such as high-rise skyscrapers, towers, and long-span bridges are created with more flexibility as a result of fast economic development and modern technology increase in their susceptibility to external excitation. Therefore, these flexible structures are susceptible to be exposed to excessive levels of vibration under the action of strong wind or earthquake. The viscous damper is one of the devices used to minimize the seismic forces. |
