Spectral Evaluation of High Force-Volume Lead Dampers for Structural Response Reduction in Critical Infrastructure What force does this small damper need to produce to obtain a given reduction in seismic response? GW Rodgers, C Denmead, N Leach, John B Mander & JG Chase The last talk of the conference talks about how to make it small enough to fit!
