Capacity Spectrum-Based Retrofitting Method and Quick Design for Viscously Damped Structures by Utilizing the Concept of Uniform Damping Ratio

Viscous dampers have proven to be effective in enhancing the seismic performance of existing structures. Despite this, there is still a need for rapid and simplified design methods and formulae for viscous dampers that can take into account the elastic–plastic performance of structures. This study i...
