Damped outrigger system is effective for improving energy dissipation for tall buildings.
However, conventional damped outrigger (CDO) system with viscous dam** has two …

Both the inerter and negative stiffness (NS) elements can improve the control efficacy of
structural control systems. To utilize dual benefits of the inerter and NS, this study developed …

Structural weakening and addition of dam** is an approach previously proposed for the
reduction of seismic forces and drifts in the retrofit of structures. It is also used in the design …

As passive control techniques, both inerter device (ID) and negative stiffness device (NSD)
produce forces that have a phase delay of π from common springs, ie, negative stiffness …

Negative-stiffness devices are of rapidly increasing interest for high-performance vibration
control. With a tuning spring in series, the negative-stiffness device forms an enhancement …
