The method involves connecting a pair of stay cables of a civil engineering structure by a damper having stiffness in response to tensile stress and compressive stress, where the former stiffness is greater than the latter stiffness. The damper is placed so that an operating axis of the damper is substantially perpendicular to the stay cables, where the damper damping movements in a plane perpendicular to the stay cables comprises rectilinear stroke. An independent claim is also included for a system for damping vibrations of a pair of stay cables of a civil engineering structure. |
