Fluid viscous dampers were used in a 1/3 scale three story steel structure to dissipate seismic energy. Thegeometric configuration of the supplemental damping was design such that it did not alter the shear and axial demand oncolumns. In addition, it used less width and height of the span and allowed space for architectural openings. A levermechanism technique was used for this purpose which used comparatively smaller sized dampers. The results obtainedafter the experimental testing indicated approximately 48% reduction in both acceleration and drift.
