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 type=\"disc\"\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.

His research interests include seismic resistant design of building structures, soil-structure interaction, systematization of structural design process, system identification \u0026amp; health monitoring, surface ground analysis, and inverse problems in vibration. He has won awards from the Architectural Institute of Japan in 1990 and 2004 for research related to earthquake-response in structures and design methods using inverse problem approaches. Takewaki is an active member of numerous civil engineering and earthquake engineering societies and journal review boards, and has held visiting appointments at Cambridge, UC Berkley and San Diego. Takewaki holds a Bachelors, Masters, and Ph D degrees in Engineering from Kyoto University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 October 2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470824917\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379753644172,"sku":"9780470824917","price":188.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470824917_0494126a-d038-4cb1-a9f1-c06da65dcc52.jpg?v=1780163733","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470824917","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
