Performance-based Design of RC Coupled Wall High-rise Buildings with Viscoelastic Coupling Dampers

A new damping technology, the Viscoelastic Coupling Damper (VCD), has been developed at the University of Toronto for reinforced concrete (RC) coupled wall high-rise buildings. These dampers are introduced in place of coupling beams to provide distributed supplemental damping in all lateral modes of...
