✦ Synopsis

The controlled response of structures in the inelastic domain is presented using the state space theory of optimal linear control. Using the force analogy method, structural inelastic behavior can be expressed in state space form. One-step time delay compensation is incorporated in the derivation. Numerical simulation is perfomed on a onestory frame using active tendon control system.

Numerical simulations of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure, rigidly supporting a tuned liquid damper (TLD) and subjected to both real and arti"cially generated earthquake ground motions, show that a properly designed TLD can signi"cantly reduce the structure's response to these motions.
