Determination of damping for dynamic response analyses and evaluations of structures is of critical importance in assessing their performances during future events. In most cases, when dynamic analyses are performed, critical damping percentages are adopted from rounded empirical values which represent only structural damping. However, radiation damping, as well as other types of damping, can contribute significantly to the overall effective damping. Two cases of regular buildings that exhibit radiation damping are presented. The features of these two buildings and their site conditions are discussed in detail. The method used to extract damping percentages is discussed. Simple methods are used to confirm the radiation damping percentages. The characteristics of the site, foundation and superstructure of the two buildings are used to show that the radiation damping for such buildings can be substantial and beneficial in assessment of their responses to large earthquakes. If radiation damping is significant, it could be incorporated into the design/analysis procedures.
