    Fluid viscous dampers can be used to structurally control dynamic blast loading on buildings. These dampers work by using a viscous fluid inside a cylinder to dissipate energy from vibrations caused by explosions or earthquakes. When tested on a scale model building, fluid viscous dampers were able to reduce the maximum displacement of the structure under a simulated blast load by over 50%.
