My name is Daniel. I have a question, please: do you know a source of information (books, magazines, research, etc.) about earthquake-systems using hydraulic dampers?. Another question, if this is possible: can you give me examples of buildings that use it according to their structure with pictures please?.

Thank you very much for your time.

Best regards.

Daniel.

The hydraulic dampers in the Columbia Tower in Seattle were designed by Karla Keal when she was working at Skilling Ward Berkshire. Not absolutely sure of the spelling of her name though..
