AND DESIGN
• Incorporated within a
structure to absorb portion of
wind-induced or seismic energy
• Manufactured dampers –
visco-elastic, viscous fluid (act
as large shock absorbers),
friction (dissipates energy when
the slip force of 2 surfaces
exceeds limit) & metallic yield
dampers (happens through
inelastic deformation of
material)
DAMPING
• Aerodynamic shaping
improve performance
against wind-induced
forces.
