One of the main challenges in today’s civil/earthquake engineering \nis the effective mitigation and control of damage \ndue to earthquake-induced vibrations, with the aim of safer \nstructures, thus satisfying society expectations. Since the \nmid XX century, passive, semiactive, and active controlled \nsystems have been proposed, tested, studied, and optimized \nto mitigate earthquake-induced effects upon structures.Their \neffectiveness in reducing structural vibrations and damage \nis nowadays worldwide recognized. Nonetheless, despite the \nlarge amount of research effort, the practical implementation \nof innovative seismic protection devices in building structures \nis still limited to only few countries (such as USA, Japan, \nand Italy).
