This study developed a new adaptive design for a divergent fluid wall damper (DFWD). This design decreases the dynamic vibration in reinforced concrete (RC) structures subjected to dynamic forces caused by earthquakes, wind, tsunamis, and explosions. The DFWD comprises a tank connected to the lower...
