Abstract :
The growth of population and technology along with the costs of maintenance and repair of structures after the occurrence of natural disasters such as storms, floods and earthquakes have caused people to look for safer shelter than in the past. Dampers are used to improve the cyclic behavior of structures against wind and earthquake loads. In this research, the experimental and numerical research results published in open access journals that considered the effect of the type and form of the damper on the performance of the structures, including the reduction of displacement and the reduction of foundation shear, are given. By applying cyclic load to the structure, usually the dampers have reduced the base shear and reduced the displacement of the structure. In the laboratory samples where only the damper itself has been tested, more attention has been paid to the performance of the damper. As a result of applying the earthquake record to the structure, the dampers have caused a decrease in a number of records and an increase in the base shear and displacement of the structure in some records, and at the same time, they have not shown a uniform performance for the base shear and displacement.
