Abstract
In a structure for installing a viscous vibration-damping wall , the viscous vibration-damping wall is constructed such that a housing with its upper end open is formed by uprightly setting a pair of steel-made side plates on a base plate and by disposing a pair of flange plates on both sides of the pair of side plates, an intermediate plate is inserted in the housing , and a viscous material or a viscoelastic material is placed in its gap portion. In order to install the viscous vibration-damping wall , a flange of a lower-floor girder is provided with base-plate connecting portions and a pair of flange connecting plates , and the base plate and the flange plates are connected thereto, and the intermediate plate is directly connected to a gusset plate fixed to a flange of an upper-floor girder . Consequently, the dispersion of the stress is rationalized, and the reduction of constituent members is attained.
