This paper presents a theoretical study of a predictive active control system used to improve the response of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures to earthquakes. As an example a building frame equipped with electrorheological (ER) dampers is considered. The aim of the design is to "nd a combin

A method for design of an active control system for multistorey structures using Electrorheological (ER) dampers is presented. Incorporated at various levels of a structural frame, ER dampers are used to improve the response of the structure during earthquakes. Optimal control theory was used to des
Methodology for active structural control using neural networks has been proposed by Ghaboussi and his co-workers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] in the past several years. The control algorithm in the mathematically formulated methods is replaced by a neural network controller (neuro-controller). Neuro-co
The authors are engaged in a long-term research project studying the potential of fuzzy control strategies for active structural control in civil engineering applications. The advantage of this approach is its inherent robustness and its ability to handle the non-linear behaviour of the structure. M
