Abstract: Abstract The structural control using passive dampers has a successful history in the field of mechanical and aerospace engineering. This may result from the characteristic that these fields usually deal with predictable external loading and environment with little uncertainty. On the other hand, in the field of civil engineering, it has a different situation and history [1–11]. Building and civil structures are often subjected to severe earthquake ground motions, wind disturbances, and other external loading with large uncertainties [12]. It is therefore inevitable to take into account of these uncertainties in their structural design and application to actual structures.
