Research on controlling how structures vibrate aims to prevent major collapses during events like earthquakes or accidents, and also to make buildings comfortable for people inside. This book focuses on the theory behind controlling a structure's movement using various passive devices. It explains in detail the methods used to manage the displacement, speed, and acceleration of structures like buildings, bridges, and liquid tanks when they are subjected to forces from earthquakes, wind, waves, and other sources.
