Abstract
Viscous dampers have widely proved their effectiveness in mitigating the effects of the seismic action upon \nbuilding structures. In view of the large impact that use of such dissipative devices is already having and would \nmost likely have soon in earthquake engineering applications, this paper presents a practical procedure for the \nseismic design of building structures equipped with viscous dampers, which aims at providing practical tools for an \neasy identification of the mechanical characteristics of the manufactured viscous dampers which allow to achieve \ntarget levels of performances.
