This study presents, the response of Two-Way Asymmetric System with Fluid Viscous Damper (FVD) under Bi-Directional Earthquake. The response of controlled and uncontrolled Two-way asymmetric system was evaluated by numerically solving the governing equations of motion using state space method. In the study to get effective results the response are obtained under five real earthquake ground motion namely Imperial Valley (1940), Loma Prieta (1989), Northridge (1994), Kobe (1995) and Bhuj (2001). Here to understand the behaviour of system the single-storey, two-way asymmetric system with aspect ratio of 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 was adopted. To find out effectiveness of damper, two damper parameters like damping ratio (?d) and velocity exponent (?) are considered. To compare the controlled system with the uncontrolled system various parameters are considered like displacement, torsional displacement, acceleration, rotational acceleration, base shear, base torque and drift of the structure.
