Damping in Tall Buildings

Jeary, Alan P.

Abstract The response of tall buildings to naturally occurring forces is fundamentally affected by the way in which the energy input is dissipated by the structure. In choosing the mathematical convenience of a viscous damping coefficient, early workers and researchers solved their immediate problems, but bequeathed a legacy of confusion to modern-day researchers and designers who require a more precise understanding of the process involved. This confusion is caused by the fact that (1) no physical mechanism for viscous damping in structures can be identified; and, more importantly, that (2) the damping process is in any case nonlinear.
