Lightweight steel structure (LSF) is a modern construction method ideal for buildings up to five floors, originating in Canada in the 1950s and gaining popularity in industrialized nations since the 1990s. The core components include thin wall steel sections (LGS) made from thin steel sheets through the Roll Forming process. In this system, vertical elements support both vertical and lateral loads, while horizontal elements, known as runners, play a crucial role in the overall stability and integrity of the structure.

Focusing on civil engineering, this book explores structural control systems designed to mitigate damage from dynamic environmental loads. It categorizes control methods into four types: passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid. Passive systems operate without external power, utilizing the structure's inherent properties or additional devices to reduce vibrations. The book delves into the principles and applications of these systems, providing insights into their effectiveness in enhancing structural resilience.
