What are the types of dampers used in buildings?
Liquid filled dampers Air filled dampers Mechanical dampers Rubber pad dampers Spiral dampers
What are Bridge dampers?
Its a giant shock absorber for bridges. It is usually attached in the area of the substructure, between the sofit and the abutment wall. Its primary job is to minimizes movement during seismic activity. I am a bridge maintenance supervisor in California and I have only seen them on longer bridge spans.
Why dampers are used at the end of tower in transmission lines?
To 'damp' vibrations in the conductors.

What is seismic damper?
A seismic damper is a device used in structural engineering to reduce the effects of seismic activity on buildings and other structures. It absorbs and dissipates the energy generated by an earthquake, thus helping to protect the structure from damage. Seismic dampers can come in various forms, such as fluid viscous dampers or friction dampers.

What type of building absorbs the energy of seismic waves?
A base-isolated building is designed to absorb the energy of seismic waves through a series of dampers or isolators, which help to reduce the impact of ground motion on the structure. This technology helps to protect the building and its occupants during an earthquake.
Are the HVAC dampers open or closed in your system?
The HVAC dampers in our system are currently closed.
A building able to stand up against an earhtquake is considered to be a what?
Seismically resilient. This means that the building is designed to withstand the force and shaking of an earthquake, reducing the risk of damage and collapse. Various design features such as flexible structures, dampers, and bracing can contribute to the building's ability to resist seismic forces.
Which website offers a good tutorial on how to install chimney dampers?
Most individuals will employ a professional to install chimney dampers. However there are tutorials on many chimney maintenance topics including the installation of dampers on Chimneycricket.

Where can you get dampers?
Dampers can be purchased at various places, including home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowe's, online retailers such as Amazon, and specialized HVAC supply shops. Additionally, you can find dampers at local hardware stores or plumbing supply stores. If you're looking for specific types, such as automotive dampers, auto parts stores would be the best option.

How are mass dampers and active tendon systems similar in the way they protect a building from earthquake damage?
Mass dampers and active tendon systems both mitigate structural vibrations during earthquakes by absorbing and dissipating energy. Mass dampers use large weights to counteract oscillations, shifting to counterbalance motion, while active tendon systems employ cables that adjust tension in response to building movements. Both systems enhance a building's stability and reduce the risk of damage by minimizing the impact of seismic forces. Ultimately, they serve the same purpose of improving the resilience of structures against dynamic loads.
