Abstract: A procedure for the design of controllers for tall buildings under wind loads is presented. It is assumed that there are constraints on the design, in terms of requiring that the root-mean square (RMS) values of certain ...

Abstract: A control methodology is presented for a column, modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom system subjected to simultaneous horizontal and vertical support motion. It is assumed that the support motions are uncertain, time ...

Abstract: A procedure for the design of an active tuned mass damper for vibration control in tall buildings subject to wind loads is presented. The building motions are modeled by the first mode of the response, and it is assumed ...

Abstract: Two neural network architectures are proposed for use in structural control applications: a Failure Detection Neural Network and a Failure Accommodation Neural Network. The Failure Detection Network monitors structural ...

Abstract: A simple algorithm for multiobjective linear quadratic Gaussian control that can be used for various structural control applications is presented. This algorithm synthesizes Pareto optimal trade-off curves, which are plots ...

Abstract: A procedure for the design of a second-order dynamic controller is presented. The proposed method is applied to the control of structures under earthquake and wind excitations. The controller gains are determined by ...
