Introduction -- Part 1. Passive Control -- Optimal Stiffness Distribution-Static Loading -- Optimal Stiffness/Damping for Dynamic Loading --
Optimal Passive Damping Distribution -- Tuned Mass Damper Systems -- Base Isolation Systems -- Part 2. Active and Semi-Active Control --
Applications of Active Control -- Structural Control Dynamics -- Linear Control -- Advanced Control Theory
This innovative volume provides a systematic treatment of the basic concepts and computational procedures for structural motion design and
engineering for civil installations. The authors illustrate the application of motion control to a wide spectrum of buildings through many
examples. Topics covered include optimal stiffness distributions for building-type structures, the role of damping in controlling motion, tuned
mass dampers, base isolation systems, linear control, and nonlinear control. The book's primary objective is the satisfaction of motion-related
design requirements, such as restrictions on displacement and acceleration. The book is ideal for practicing engineers and graduat...
