Passive Control Techniques and Their Applications in Historic Structures
Abstract
Preservation of historic heritage is an endeavor of great significance. Environmental causes and earthquake activity have deteriorated and damaged monuments of important historical value. Passive control techniques that have been used for many years to control vibrations of structures and machines could also be used to protect historic structures from earthquakes. These passive techniques not only increase the seismic safety of structures but also respect their appearance which can be significantly altered by conventional strengthening techniques. This chapter reviews the most important passive techniques and presents selected applications to significant historical structures and monuments.
