Abstract: An active bracing system has been designed and fabricated for implementation to a full‐scale dedicated test structure for structural response control under seismic loads. Presented in this paper, the first part of a two‐part ...

Abstract: An active bracing system has been designed, fabricated, and installed in a full‐scale dedicated test structure in Tokyo, Japan, for structural‐response control under seismic loads. In 1991, Soong et al. presented the design ...

Abstract: Active control of building structures has been extensively studied theoretically, using a variety of control schemes showing varying degrees of efficiency. The demand for experimental evidence of feasibility of control of ...
