Abstract-Earthquake in the simplest terms can be defined as Shaking and vibration at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane. The vibrations produced by the earthquakes are due to seismic waves. Among different types of dampers, viscoelastic [VE] dampers are used for this numerical study. Viscoelastic dampers are considered to be better than most of the passive energy dissipation devices. Researches done on the improvement of its performance for analyzing structures have always been in vogue. The significant change in the response of the structures to make it resistant to earthquake and wind forces is the main idea behind using such devices. In this numerical study, seismic response of G+4 structures will analyze having with and without damper. The damper will be considered in the place of critical sections. Modeling and analysis of the structures and installation of the dampers are done by using finite element modeling software [SAP2000]. Time history analysis was used to simulate the response of the structures. The structure is design in accordance with seismic code is 1893: 2000 under seismic zone III with the help of SAP 2000. Damper systems are designed to prevent injuries to the residents by absorbing the input seismic energy and reduce the deformations in the structure.
