The comparison of displacement results between the elastic and viscoelastic models with different dash-pot parameters between buildings is presented in Figure 7, where the values of [C.sub.1], [E.sub.1], [E.sub.2], and E* are 4 x [10.sup.7] Pa * s, 2 x [10.sup.8] Pa, 2 x [10.sup.8] Pa, and 1 x [10.sup.8] Pa, respectively.
