Damper is an important structural damping technology, which can provide additional dampingfor the structure, consume the input seismic energy, and achieve the damping target. It has uniqueadvantages and broad application prospects. Viscous dampers are widely used in many fields because oftheir simple structure and stable performance. Magnetorheological dampers are widely used in the fields ofautomobile, machinery and aviation, but are still relatively rare in construction and bridge engineering.The development history and application status of viscous dampers and magnetorheological dampers aresummarized. The accurate finite element simulation of dampers and frame structures with dampers iscarried out. Combined with the application case of magnetorheological dampers in a renovation project inBeijing, the damping effect is studied. Five different damper layout schemes are proposed, and thedamper layout changes in the residential project are compared and analyzed, and the optimal layout of thedamper in the frame structure is given.
