Description
Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs) are among the most effective passive energy dissipation devices used in modern earthquake-resistant design. This course provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to the modeling, analysis, and design of Fluid Viscous Dampers using SAP2000 and Perform3D, focusing on practical implementation aligned with performance-based seismic design principles.The course starts with a clear explanation of the theoretical background of fluid viscous dampers, including their mechanical behavior, force–velocity relationships, damping coefficients, and velocity exponent effects. You will gain a solid understanding of how dampers influence structural response, reduce displacements, control story drifts, and improve overall seismic performance.Next, the course moves into hands-on modeling in SAP2000, where you will learn how to define nonlinear link elements, assign damper properties correctly, and integrate FVDs into structural systems. You will perform linear and nonlinear time-history analyses, interpret key results, and evaluate damper effectiveness through displacement, acceleration, and force responses.In the advanced section, the course covers Perform3D modeling, focusing on performance-based seismic assessment, nonlinear components, damper calibration, and acceptance criteria. You will learn how to compare structural behavior with and without dampers, assess life safety and collapse prevention levels, and understand practical design decisions used in real engineering projects.This course is ideal for civil and structural engineers, graduate students, researchers, and practicing professionals who want to confidently apply seismic dampers in design offices and research studies. No prior damper experience is required—only basic knowledge of structural analysis and earthquake engineering.By the end of this course, you will be able to design, model, analyze, and evaluate fluid viscous dampers professionally using SAP2000 and Perform3D.
Who this course is for
Civil and Structural Engineers looking to specialize in seismic protection. Engineering students interested in advanced structural modeling and damping systems.
