In our last Blogpost, we presented, how you can implement RINGFEDER® Friction Springs into SAP2000® to protect your building structure efficiently. This practical example shows their advantages compared to a conventional solution.

Seismic protection is mandatory for the safety of structures, especially in earthquake-prone regions. In our latest blog post, we present the possibility of integrating RINGFEDER^® Friction Springs into SAP2000^®, one of the leading software solutions for designing and analysing structural systems. The instruction enables engineers with previous knowledge of SAP2000^® dimension damping systems based on the Friction Spring.

The automotive industry punches and forms car body parts from sheet steel, which they receive from rolling mills in the form of steel coils. They are hot-rolled to the finished dimensions required by the customer.
