ABSTRACT:
A method of installing a seismic damping wall where the seismic damping wall is attached to the upper floor beam prior to installing the upper floor beam. A hanging plate is placed in the chamber defined by a standing structure plate. The hanging plate is temporarily attached to the standing structure plate. The top edge of the hanging plate is affixed to a horizontal structural beam that upon installation in the building will be an upper floor structural beam. The combined unit, comprising the horizontal structural beam, the hanging plate and the standing plate structure, is placed in position and the horizontal structural beam on the upper floor is installed in the building structure. The chamber is filled with a viscous liquid. The hanging plate and the standing plate structure which were temporarily fastened together are separated from each other. The standing plate structure is lowered down toward the horizontal structural beam on the lower floor. The bottom edge of the standing plate structure is fixed to the horizontal structural beam on the lower floor.
