The objective of this research is to compare the structural performance of essential structures of confined masonry older than 50 years, asbuilt and retrofitted with viscous dampers. Additionally, the structure is analyzed with a traditional reinforcement technique such as reinforced concrete walls, in order to evaluate the feasibility of the first proposal. It was found that including dampers the drifts are reduced from 0.6% to its half, better performance that implementing concrete walls with 0.45% drift response. Besides stresses levels at masonry walls have been reduced better than retrofit building new concrete walls. It is shown the feasibility of the proposal in structural responses using fluid viscous dampers,
