Abstract

In this chapter, structural control techniques aimed at reducing the vulnerability of existing or new structures, built in medium and high seismic risk areas, are described. The description is focused on the passive control and, in particular, on the passive supplemental energy dissipation techniques. The effectiveness of the largest and most popular dissipation devices, such as hysteretic and viscous, by highlighting the significant reduction of seismic demand on the main structure to be protected through the evaluation of earthquake damage indices is briefly described.
