Viscoelastic dampers
Effective seismic design of structures is indeed a critical aspect that structural engineers need to consider. The traditional design methods often result in notable structural damage in the lateral resistance system of the structure due to the input energy of an earthquake. However, the use of additional viscoelastic dampers in the structure can help dissipate a significant portion of the earthquake input energy, thereby limiting the deformation of the structural members and reducing the damage caused to them.
It’s worth noting that the viscoelastic dampers produced by LBK, Ltd. are composed of a unique copolymer material that exhibits exceptionally high damping. This achievement is the culmination of years of dedicated study and research conducted by the company’s team of experts. As a result, their viscoelastic dampers have become an excellent choice for the effective seismic design of structures.
