Write the jQuery script like:

 (document).ready(function () {


        $("#divdialog").dialog({
            autoOpen: false,

            resizable: false,
            modal: true,
            title: "Session Timeout",

            buttons: {
                Yes: function () {
                    $.ajax({
                        url: '/<your controller>/SessionTimeout', // Redirects to action method for every 20 minutes.

                        dataType: "json",
                        type: "GET",
                        error: function () {
                            alert(" An error occurred.");
                        },
                        success: function (data) {
                            $("#divdialog").dialog('close');
                            display("stop");

                        }
                    });
                },
                Logout: function () {
                    location.href = '/<your controller>/Logout';
                }
            }
        });


    });

    function myFunction() { // Fires every 20 minutes

        setInterval(function () {
            $("#divdialog").dialog('open');

        }, 1200000);
    }

and Add Action Method in your controller like:

  public ActionResult SessionTimeout()
    {

        Session.Timeout = Session.Timeout + 20;

        return Json("",JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

Hope above technique helps you.
