As part of a voluntary seismic upgrade, Taylor Dampers were chosen for this concrete moment frame building. These types of structures are ideal candidates for upgrades utilizing Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs) because they are inherently flexible structures permitting the FVDs to dissipate large amounts of energy at relatively low force levels.

To get a better understanding of Taylor Dampers compared to other solutions, we have made an infographic detailing the consequences of three options building owners have when it comes to retrofitting older buildings. Click the link below to view the entire infographic.

The @USResiliencyCouncil (USRC) is having its latest installment of The Resilience Advantage webinar and video series TOMORROW 12/9 at 11a. We would like to encourage everyone to register and attend this informative event focused on the importance of resilient design.

We salute all the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. Taylor Devices thanks you for your service. #VeteransDay

These fluid viscous dampers are bound for Los Angeles, California where they will be installed in the UCLA Hammer Museum as a part of a seismic retrofit of the building.
