Abstract

The present invention relates to a wall damper ( 100 ) connected to an upper floor and a lower floor, comprising of a top cap ( 108 ), a pair of cover plates ( 105 ), a pair of side members ( 107 ), and a base ( 110 ), interconnected to one another to form a framing structure to accommodate a pair of inner panels ( 101 ), a plurality of damping means ( 103 ), and a plurality of outer plates ( 104 ); characterised in that the pair of inner panels ( 101 ) connected vertically to one another by a joint ( 102 ); the top cap ( 108 ) having a slit ( 114 ) for receiving the pair of inner panels ( 101 ); the plurality of damping means ( 103 ) bounded to both sides of the pair of inner panels ( 101 ); the plurality of outer plates ( 104 ) bounded to the plurality of damping means ( 103 ); a plurality of stiffening members ( 106 ) disposed on a surface of each of the pair of cover plates ( 105 ); wherein the pair of inner panels ( 101 ), the plurality of damping means ( 103 ), the plurality of outer plates ( 104 ) and the pair of cover plates ( 105 ) are arranged in a parallel relationship; wherein the pair of inner panels ( 101 ), the joint ( 102 ), the plurality of damping means ( 103 ), the plurality of outer plates ( 104 ), and the pair of cover plates ( 105 ), being provided with a plurality of cavities ( 113 ) and aligned with one another accordingly for a connecting means ( 112 ) transversed therethrough.
