Abstract: In this paper an advanced application of fluid viscous damper is investigated. This study investigated whether fluid viscous damper is an alternative for base isolators. The non linear time history analysis result clearly indicates that the use of fluid viscous damper in midrise steel buildings will reduce the earthquake response and is an efficient seismic retrofitting method.
