Viscous Dampers’ Effectiveness in Reducing Wind-Induced Vibrations in Tall Structures
The severe problem of dealing with wind-induced vibrations finds its place in modern architecture, especially for tall structures. High-rise buildings are always subject to a number of environmental forces, amongst which wind can cause considerable swaying and discomfort to occupants. That is where viscous dampers come in as a great solution to minimize such effects […]

The Influence of Viscous Dampers on the Dynamic Behavior of Bridges
That is far from the truth, for most modern infrastructures boast of bridges that all but connect cities, economies, and transportation. On the other side, structural stability becomes an important concern much like the environmental factors of wind, seismic activity, or heavy loads of traffic. One of the truly impressive solutions to this challenge includes […]
