OVIEDO, Juan Andrés  and  DUQUE, María del Pilar. SISTEMAS DE CONTROL DE RESPUESTA SÍSMICA EN EDIFICACIONES. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2006, n.6, pp.105-120. ISSN 1794-1237.

This paper corresponds to a summary of the common aspects of the state-of-the-art seismic response control techniques to buildings. It is presented an overview of the energy balance concept in a structural system; it is also discussed the types of energy and its role into the total energy dissipation. Besides, some examples of the most widely used devices for seismic response control techniques are presented.

Keywords : Seismic control; dissipators; braces; dampers; seismic isolators; energy balance.
