Abstract: High-performance control systems (HPCS) are sophisticated vibration-mitigation devices that include active, semiactive, and hybrid systems. HPCS leverage feedback mechanisms to dynamically adjust the damping force in ...

Abstract: Performance-based design (PBD) is becoming a benchmark approach for design and performance assessment of civil structures because it facilitates communication between stakeholders and design professionals with decision ...

Abstract: Supplemental damping devices, including passive, semiactive, and active systems, can be employed to reduce vibrations caused by various hazards. This paper examined tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs), a specialized type ...

Abstract: High-performance control systems (HPCSs), including active, hybrid, and semiactive control strategies, can perform over a wide excitation bandwidth and are therefore good candidates for multihazard mitigation. However, the ...
