Abstract
Research and studies on seismic damping devices and systems started in earnest in the United States in the 1980s. In less than 15 years, damping devices moved from the university laboratory into mainstream design practice. Damping devices, damping systems, analytical tools, design procedures and codes and guidelines have been developed and deployed in building structures. The paper summarizes briefly the research work and describes in some detail the guidelines and codes of practice now available for implementing damping devices in buildings.
