Abstract: An exploratory study is made of the possible application of active control systems to tall buildings in along‐wind motion. An analytical procedure is developed to compute the statistical properties of the structural response ...

Abstract: An investigation is made of the possible application of an active mass damper control system to tall buildings excited by strong wind turbulence. The effectiveness of active control system, as measured by the reduction of ...

Abstract: An investigation is made of the possible application of tuned liquid column dampers and tuned liquid column/mass dampers in reducing the along‐wind response of wind‐sensitive structures. The structure is modeled as a lumped ...

Abstract: An investigation is made of the possible application of both the active tendon and active mass damper control systems to buildings excited by strong earthquakes. The effectiveness of both active control systems as measured ...

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the wind tunnel studies conducted at the boundary layer wind tunnel facility at the University of Sydney to determine across-wind forces acting on the 76-story 306 m high benchmark building. ...

Abstract: A study has been undertaken on the effectiveness of using liquid column vibration absorbers (LCVAs), in the suppression of wind-induced motion of the 76-story benchmark building. Much work has been undertaken on the behavior ...
