Abstract

Passive control is one of the oldest systems of structure safety against dynamic loads. This strategy offers a structural protection using passive devices without needing any energy source or automation. Around the world, several of structures and tall buildings are equipped by these control devices. The passive control consists of a passive device superposed onto the main structure to improve the flexibility or damping. Therefore, during earthquake or wind excitation the additional devices absorb or reduce the caused shock and vibration of the structure. However, the literature is full of studies and investigations on the passive control application in the civil engineering area. Several of these investigations consider the effectiveness of energy dissipater devices to overcome structural disaster during earthquake loads. The main focus of the paper is to discuss the state-of-the-art of the passive control energy dissipater system. Different passive devices are described and the robustness in mitigating of earthquake structural vibration is discussed.

Keywords: • passive control • vibration mitigation • energy dissipation • passive dampers • earthquake loads • structural safety
