[Scope and outline]

This course discusses various methods to evaluate effectiveness of the passive control dampers and building framing schemes. Characteristics of four main types of dampers are explained. Design and analytical methods for
three types of framing systems having distinct architectural features, damper connecting schemes, as well as control efficiencies are explained. Topics are as follows:

Fundamental Theory on Passive Control

Mechanical Characteristics of Dampers

Framing Systems and Their Control Efficiencies

Analytical Methods for Passive Control Dampers and Systems

Design Methods for Passive Control Dampers and System
