Abstract

Civil engineering objects, especially buildings, suffer the damage and failure under earthquake. Invented DC Damper System can increase the resistance and strengthen the construction, enabling tougher behaviour under seismic load. Experimental research and experience in repairing 350 damaged objects on four continents is the base for system development.
