According to the current trends of various methods used in reduction of seismic response of buildings, mostly it is done by applying various types of energy dissipative systems or devices such as dampers. It is also used for Rehabilitation & Retrofitting of damaged building structures and as a Shock Absorber in bridges. Various types of dampers are available in markets according to the choice of designers and researchers, but it was observed that Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVD) were preferred the most of the times. Comparative studies between FVD and other type of dampers also favour FVD due to its promising and noticeable results in some researcher’s studies. And also the amount of flexibility in use, reduction in damping force, wide range of application makes it more preferable to use. This paper tries to emphasize on the various approaches and methods used along with FVD to effectively minimise the seismic response of buildings and to get better results against seismic forces.
