Even though the need for application of damping devices is being raised even in Korea, the design process for damping system is usually performed without considering not only if the design base shear has been reduced in proper ratio, but also if the response reduction due to the application of the damping device has been actually occurred. In this research, response reduction effect was checked as a reduced base shear force, energy approach, and logarithmic decrement approach for the bearing wall apartment buildings with fluid damper.
