        abstract = {Earthquakes pose significant risks to structures, especially when seismic design considerations are inadequate. To enhance structural resilience, modern engineering integrates energy dissipation devices such as fluid viscous dampers (FVDs). This study investigates the seismic performance of a G+5 reinforced concrete framed structure equipped with FVDs. The analysis is conducted using ETABS v19 software, adhering to IS 1893:2016 seismic provisions, with the structure located in seismic zone III. A comparative evaluation is carried out using the response spectrum method to assess the structure's behavior with and without dampers. Key performance parameters such as maximum storey displacement, storey drift, storey stiffness, overturning moment, and storey shear are analyzed. Results indicate a substantial improvement in seismic performance with the inclusion of viscous dampers, highlighting their effectiveness in enhancing structural safety and serviceability during seismic events.},
