42. FLUID DAMPERS FOR APPLICATIONS OF SEISMIC ENERGY DISSIPATION AND SEISMIC ISOLATION

University at Buffalo has conducted extensive evaluation of fluid viscous dampers including development of an analytical model of the damper, computational model of structures including dampers and a number of experimental verifications. This paper describes this program, alone with a history of viscous dampers and a description of some projects that use them.

10. INVESTIGATION OF LIGHT POLE BASE INTEGRITY – RICH STADIUM

Light poles at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., were showing incipient failure of their hold-down bolts, due to wind excitation. This paper describes the measures used to alleviate this problem, including the addition of viscous dampers between the stadium structure and a point around one third up on the light poles.
