Abstract: A very simple model for the analysis and design of framed‐tube structures subjected to lateral loads is presented here. The structure is modeled as a series of stringers and shear panels. The elegance of the method lies ...

Abstract: A damage-controlled structure is defined as a combination of structural systems and energy transformation devices that are integrated in such a way that damage due to a major loading is restricted to a specific set of ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a wavelet neurocontroller capable of self-adaptation and self-organization for uncertain systems controlled with semiactive devices that are ideal candidates for control of large-scale civil structures. ...
