Seismic Dampers
Seismic Dampers are used in damping the oscillations of a building during an earthquake. There are many types of dampers for buildings, and damping through friction tends to be one of the most efficient methods of dissipating seismic energy. The friction damper operates by dissipating kinetic energy through friction.
