This paper investigates the influence of the story stiffness of reinforced concrete (R/C) frame on the seismic
response of R/C buildings with proportional hysteretic dampers. For this purpose, non-linear time-history analyses
were conducted on a series of multi-degree-of-freedom system models that include a wide range of structural
parameters and vertical distributions of story stiffnesses and strengths of R/C main frame and dampers. Although
the basic purpose of damper installation is to reduce deformation demands, the results of analyses indicate that
the story-drift demand on an entire system could be larger than that of the structure without dampers, depending
highly on the stiffness and response period of R/C main frame. Moreover, dampers are shown to be more efficient
in reducing the story-drift demand when installed into a flexible R/C main frame.

In the passive control of building structures, hysteretic
dampers are the most prevalent structural members
installed into a building to improve its seismic
performance through dissipating most of the vibration
energy imposed by ground motions.
