Fluid Viscous Damping as an Alternative to Base Isolation. - http://www.taylordevices.com/fluidviciousdamping.html
Viscous dampers distributed throughout an otherwise conventional structure can achieve the same result as base isolation at a significantly lower cost. This technical paper describes how to install viscous dampers in a structure and gives several examples.
