Damping in structures Damping is a significant source of energy dissipation in case of earthquakes. More than 50% energy is dissipated by the damping itself. Strain energy and inelastic energy are like 30% or so. Then there is stiffness proportional damping taking care of rest of the energy pumped into the system. But what is the damping value for buildings with various heights? Can we develop some sort of relations between damping and period of the building? The reason for doing so is, we need to make sure that we are not...
