Abstract
In this chapter Tuned-Mass-Dampers (TMDs) are explained. At the beginning the mechanical characteristics and their operation are discussed, and then the design criteria for these seismic isolation systems are defined. At the end of the chapter two practical examples of TMD and Active-Tuned-Mass-Dampers (ATMDs) are inserted.
