Questions

• To describe the effects of viscous damper to an existing building under seismic loads.

• To differentiate the extent of severity of the damage of the building with and without the
viscous dampers through model analysis.

• To establish the most effective and suitable seismic retrofitting scheme for each specific building
through series of simulation.

SCOPE

Q- RITM Main Building will be the building that will be assessed

Why it was chosen aside from other near structure? What makes it a candidate for retrofitting

A- Based from the research problem that we stated by a while ago, this building is noticeable ....
thats why it was considered candidate for retroffitng. The applied seismic provision under the
national building code is considered to be substandard and thus the assurance of its structural
integrity is questionable.
Q- All structural member of the building will be checked and assessed based from the maximum
seismic loads that will be applied
A- The anticipated maximum seismic load will be applied as a

Q- NSCP 2015 will be the code to be used.

A- Since it the latest structural code of the philippines with improved seismic provision

Q- ETABS will be used for simulation and Autocad for drafting the plans. STAAD will be a
supplemental software.

A- Etabs shows ( features of etabs ), staad would be a sumplemental software to check the
accuracy or consistency of the results made from etabs.

Limitations

Q- Process of installation of the viscous damper will not be included in the study

A- Specific construction details will not in detailed elaboration

Q- No prototype will be constructed.

 A- Purely Simulation based.

Conceptual Framework

Input
A- In the input section the preliminary data were gathered such as the primary structures falls
under the desired criteria. Also, documents that supports it current structural condition were
acquired. Necessary software were determined.

Process
A- It is the most crucial part of this study, since all the results will be obtained primarily by
simulation and thus sh

Output
A-
To provide awareness regarding seismic mitigation devices and its application to the different structures

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

COMMUNITY

- It is considered as essential structure

- Operational immediately following an earthquake, it should accomoate the community
right after a disastrous calamity.

OWNER

- We want to secure the stability of the structure for the interest of the building owner

RESEARCHER

- We want future researcher to establish a significant changes to our research, to fill out the
lapses it our studies.
