Structural Damping - Liang, Zach a Lee, George C. a Dargush, Gary F. a Song, Jianwei

Describes important principles for dealing with the damping of structures to aid in the analysis and design of supplemental damping to mitigate seismic effects. This text also examines limitations and the problem of damping and stiffness nonlinearity, which may not be approximated with sufficient accuracy using the simplified approaches.
