Structural Control Devices

More about the book

Focusing on civil engineering, this book explores structural control systems designed to mitigate damage from dynamic environmental loads. It categorizes control methods into four types: passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid. Passive systems operate without external power, utilizing the structure's inherent properties or additional devices to reduce vibrations. The book delves into the principles and applications of these systems, providing insights into their effectiveness in enhancing structural resilience.
