	  abstract     = {The advantage of using non-linear passive damping 
system in vibration control of two adjacent structures is investigated 
under their base excitation. The base excitation is El Centro 
earthquake record acceleration. The damping system is considered as 
an optimum and effective non-linear viscous damper that is 
connected between two adjacent structures. A MATLAB program is 
developed to produce the stiffness and damping matrices and to 
determine a time history analysis of the dynamic motion of the 
system. One structure is assumed to be flexible while the other has a 
rule as laterally supporting structure with rigid frames. The response 
of the structure has been calculated and the non-linear damping 
coefficient is determined using optimum LQR algorithm in an 
optimum vibration control system. The non-linear parameter of 
damping system is estimated and it has shown a significant advantage 
of application of this system device for vibration control of two 
adjacent tall building.
