Viscous Dampers on Suspension Bridges
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2023 Suspended steel cables are widely used in modern bridges today. However, as the spans of these bridges become larger, the length of the cables used increase consequently, so the problem of vibration in these cables becomes more evident. In some cases, it has been observed that the natural frequency of cables is consistent with the frequency of loads ...

Optimization of nonlinear viscous damper characteristics to reduce the response of concrete structures with linear and nonlinear behaviours [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2020 Nowadays, controlling vibration of a structure in earthquakes and reducing the structural responses are of great importance. Dampers are a type of systems controlling the absorption of the earthquake energy and dissipating it in order to reduce the ...

Investigating the Effect of Viscous Yield Dampers on Concrete Structure Performance
Shock and Vibration, 2021 Viscous dampers are one of the most effective devices in the energy consumption of the buildings. The passive hybrid system progressive applications cause each of the dampers to compensate for the weakness of the other system, thus increasing the ...

Alternate approach for calculating the optimum viscous damper size
Građevinar, 2023 This study explores the optimal viscous damper size required to prevent a five-story building from colliding with a rigid wall. It comprises two parts, both based on the novel application of the wavelet coherence method (WCoh).

Solutions for the Design and Increasing of Efficiency of Viscous Dampers [PDF]
The Open Construction and Building Technology Journal, 2016 In last decades many strategies for seismic vulnerability mitigation of structures have been studied and experimented; in particular energy dissipation by external devices assumes a great importance for the relative simplicity and efficacy. Among all possible approaches the use of fluid viscous dampers are very interesting, because of their velocity ...
