Research in vibration response control deals not only with
prevention of catastrophic failures of structures during natural or
accidental/manmade hazards but also ensures the comfort of
occupants through serviceability. Therefore, the focus of this book
is on the theory of dynamic response control of structures by using
different kinds of passive vibration control devices. The
strategies used for controlling displacement, velocity, and
acceleration response of structures such as buildings, bridges, and
liquid storage tanks under the action of dynamic loads emanating
from earthquake, wind, wave, and so forth are detailed. The book:
Explains fundamentals of vibration response control devices and
their practical applications in response mitigation of structures
exposed to earthquake, wind, and wave loading Offers a
comprehensive overview of each passive damper, its functioning, and
mathematical modeling in a dynamical system Covers practical
aspects of employing the passive control devices to some of the
benchmark problems that are developed from existing buildings and
bridges in different countries worldwide Includes MATLAB (R) codes
for determining the dynamic response of single degree of freedom
(SDOF) and multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) systems along with
computational models of the passive control devices This book is
aimed at senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and
researchers in civil, earthquake, aerospace, automotive, mechanical
engineering, engineering dynamics, and vibration control, including
structural engineers, architects, designers, manufacturers, and
other professionals.

This book presents the select proceedings of the International
Conference on Sustainable Building Materials and Construction
(ICSBMC 2021), and examines a range of durable, energy-efficient,
advance construction and building materials produced from
industrial wastes and byproducts. The topics covered include
advanced construction materials, durability of concrete structures,
waste utilization, repair & rehabilitation of concrete
structures, structural analysis & design, composites,
nanomaterials and smart materials in seismic engineering. The book
also discusses various properties and performance attributes of
modern-age concretes including their strength, durability,
workability, and carbon footprint. This book will be a precious
reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested
in sustainable construction and allied fields.
Fundamental working principle of earthquake base-isolated
structures is presented using analytical shear beam model and
discrete 2D and 3D models. The behavior of base-isolated building
and influence of the shape of isolator force-deformation loops on
its response is studied. The effects of torsional coupling, due to
isolator parameters such as the isolation stiffness and/or yield
strength, on the seismic response of base-isolated buildings are
computed along with the other sources of asymmetries. The dynamics
of impact problem in base-isolated buildings is studied through
closed-form solutions for shear beam model, wherein free-vibration
and earthquake-induced forced-vibration analyses are carried out.
The seismic response of multi-story base-isolated symmetric and
single-story asymmetric buildings during impact with the adjacent
structures under earthquakes is studied. Performance of various
isolation devices used in practice categorized as elastomeric and
sliding systems is compared during impact condition. The mitigation
of impact failures is suggested by introducing viscous or
visco-elastic dampers for energy dissipation and seismic response
control in the adjacent buildings.
