Oil damper vibration control systems in buildings offer remarkable safety during earthquakes, with minimal environmental impact. These systems are connected using braces in series and installed with pins to the building structure, ensuring minimal disturbance. This book is a pioneering exploration into the use of oil dampers in buildings. It showcases their effectiveness through detailed testing and analysis of buildings with and without oil dampers, highlighting their impact on structural performance.

• Authored by Osamu Takahashi, a professor at Tokyo University of Science and a renowned expert in structural design.
• Covers comprehensive analysis and design, with case studies and detailed experimental results.
• Suitable for students and junior professionals in structural design, as well as specialized engineers.
• Includes an additional Python code sample online for learning the behaviors of oil dampers in a Jupyter Notebook environment.

Atsuki Yokoyama, a researcher at Sanwa Tekki Corporation, contributes to the book with his expertise in engineering and a PhD from Tokyo University of Science. Together, they have authored a valuable resource that sheds light on the practical applications of oil dampers in building vibration control.
