Rotational Friction Dampers at Athens Airport

Damptech has supplied custom Rotational Friction Dampers for the new multi-story parking facility at Athens International Airport. Spanning seven levels and over 80,000 m², the building is set to become the largest parking structure in Greece.

To satisfy stringent seismic performance criteria across the massive footprint, a series of dampers with varied capacities were integrated directly into the structural frame. The damping solution effectively dissipates lateral energy during seismic events, safeguarding structural integrity while optimizing member sizes.

 

Project 1 in Greece | Retrofitting project

Two more new floors where added to the existing RC apartment building in Athens


Project 2 in Greece | New Industrial Project

Dampers were installed in a very short time to an industrial building in Athens


Project 3 in Greece

Scissor Model dampers have been installed in a industrial building in Greece. Since the completion of the project, several earthquakes have hit the region. The most significant were in June 2008 (M 6.5) and in August 07, 2011 (M 4.7) and August 20,2011 (M 4.9). The dampers have performed very well and no excessive displacements or effects of high forces have been observed in the structure.


Project 4 in Greece | Two new office buildings

Dampers were installed in a very short time in two new office buildings


Project 5 in Greece | Base isolation of heavy equipment at the top of an industrial tower
