Abstract: This paper addresses the third-generation benchmark problem on structural control, and focuses on the control of a full-scale, nonlinear, seismically excited, 20-story building. A semiactive design is developed in which ...

Abstract: This paper considers the capabilities of semiactive control systems using magnetorheological dampers when applied to numerical models of full scale asymmetric buildings. Two full scale building models exhibiting coupled ...

Abstract: A four-span suspension bridge which has two main 2,000 m spans is investigated with respect to the deformation characteristics. Generally, deformation behavior of the four-span suspension bridge is mainly influenced by ...
