Areal high rise building called Latifa tower was constructed in Dubai; UAE in 2006 was taken for this study. Performance analysis of the Latifa Tower under earthquake loads is described in this paper. The tower is a 55-story high-rise building, 264 m high, located in Dubai, UAE. A comparative analysis of structural seismic performance and economic impact was conducted using traditional methods, i.e., increased size of columns and beams and/or use of an increased number of seismic steel braces versus using Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVD). Real factored earthquake for gradient ground excitation was used in the analysis like El-Centro, 1940, Northridge, 1994, and Al-Aqaba 1995. Both of original structural response and economic analysis show that using Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVD) to absorb seismic energy not only satisfies the Middle East seismic design code for a “rare” earthquake, but is also the most economical way to improve seismic performance both for one-time direct investment and long term maintenance.
