Building vibrations can be reduced or avoided via damping. The dampers in buildings help to reduce seismic effects by dissipating seismic energy that enters the buildings since they are developed in conjunction with the building frame and foundation.
What are hydraulic dampers in buildings?Viscose fluid is used as a dampening medium in hydraulic dampers, which are mounted on bridges and other structures. Hydraulic dampers offer passive damping to absorb and distribute energy from structural vibration, which is typically caused by wind, earthquakes, movement loads, or mechanical equipment.
How do dampers work in buildings?
Dampers in high rise buildings are judiciously positioned in the structure of the building to regulate floor vibrations and building displacement, cater to occupant comfort and mitigate against significant seismic events.
The dampers take in the energy produced by building displacement and floor vibration and then release it as heat energy.
Types of damping devices in buildings:Viscous damping
Viscoelastic damper
Friction damper
Tuned mass damper
Yielding damper
Magnetic damper
I’d like to conclude my answer here about the dampers in buildings. I hope this helps:)
