This document summarizes a study on seismic analysis of I-shaped and plus-shaped buildings with and without fluid viscous dampers. 9-storey models of each building shape were created and analyzed using the seismic coefficient method. Results show that using dampers reduced displacement by 50-70% on average for both buildings. Base shear was reduced up to 75.15% for the I-shaped building and 72.5% for the plus-shaped building. Therefore, the study concludes that dampers improve earthquake resistance by reducing structural response for both building shapes.
