Resonance, Damping and Dynamic Amplification Factor

Buildings do respond differently under dynamic loading. The nature of dynamic amplification depends on the natural frequency of system and the frequency of applied loading. Wind is a low frequency vibration and thus resonates with tall buildings and generates more response of tall slender structures while earthquake has a very high natural frequency and thus resonates more with short structures. Damping is a main function which can significantly reduce this dynamic amplification and there is demonstration which shows how damping reduces the response of the system.
