Damping Even The Smallest Displacements
While fluid viscous dampers perform well under seismic loads that result in medium to large displacements, sometimes structures need dampers for smaller displacements. In these cases, low amplitude dampers can be used to apply damping to a more.

Why Is Retrofitting Necessary?
If you're a building owner and received a notice that your building needs to be retrofitted, you probably have a few questions about why it is even necessary. While it may seem like just another added expense, seismic retrofitting has many benefits.
