Description: "This book provides a systematic treatment of the basic concepts and computational procedures for structural motion control. Examples illustrating the application of motion control to a wide spectrum of buildings are presented. Also, an extensive set of problems are included.

Topics range from optimal stiffness distributions for building type structures, the role of damping in controlling motion, tuned mass dampers, base isolation systems, quasi-static active control, and dynamic time-invariant feedback control. The targeted audiences are practising structural engineers and graduate students."--BOOK JACKET.
