However, structural engineers often lack the tools for the optimal selection and placement of such systems. In \u003ci\u003eBuilding Control with Passive Dampers\u003c\/i\u003e, Takewaki brings together most the reliable, state-of-the-art methods in practice around the world, arming readers with a real sense of how to address optimal selection and placement of passive control systems. \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe first book on optimal design, sizing, and location selection of passive dampers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCombines theory and practical applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes step-by-step how to obtain optimal damper size and placement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers the state-of-the-art in optimal design of passive control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrates the most reliable techniques in the top literature and used in practice worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by a recognized expert in the area\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMATLAB code examples available from the book's Companion Website\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is essential for post-graduate students, researchers, and design consultants involved in building control.
