Abstract: This paper presents a modified sliding mode control (MSMC) method using acceleration feedback to reduce the response of seismic-excited civil buildings. A pre-filter is introduced prior to the control command so that a ...

Abstract: Among promising control strategies, the sliding mode control is particularly robust with respect to structural uncertainty. In this paper, a modified sliding mode control (MSMC) strategy using dynamic output feedback is ...

Abstract: The frequency-dependent aerodynamic damping and stiffness of high-rise buildings in along-wind motion have been systematically investigated and compared through wind tunnel tests under smooth wind flow. A novel identification ...

Abstract: In this paper, a control design process incorporating robustness criteria is developed specifically for wind-excited high-rise buildings and its feasibility is experimentally verified by implementing on a four degree-of-freedom ...

Abstract: This paper presents an overview and problem definition of a benchmark problem for the response control of wind-excited tall buildings. The building considered is a 76-story 306 m concrete office tower proposed for the city ...
