The amount of energy dissipated by seismic dampers increases with their deformation. In typical structures with passive energy dissipation systems that utilize seismic da [...]

Realistic three-dimensional shaking table tests will be conducted in February and March 2009 for full-scale 5-story building specimens with dampers. The building will be [...]

The present paper describes three key issues as follows: (1) A major research program on passive control of buildings: Shaking table tests using E-Defense will be conduct [...]

A lot of researches on the seismic vibration control system show that they have effect on mitigating seismic damage. Most researches on structures with damper devices sub [...]
