A simple model for the seismic response of a one-storey structure subjected to active control in the presence of soilstructure interaction e ects is presented. The approach is based on the successive use of equivalent 1-DOF oscillators which account for the e ects of control and soil-structure inter

β¦ Synopsis
A methodology is developed in this paper to include soil-structure interaction effects in optimal structural control, General Multi-Degree-Of-Freedom (MDOF) structural models are considered. The SSI transfer functions for ground motion and control force in the physical space are presented first, followed by a methodology for using system identification techniques to find an equivalent fixed-base model of an MDOF SSI system. An iterative technique is applied to combine these methods for the determination of optimal control gains. The control effectiveness of considering soil-structure interaction is investigated for the controlled SSI system. It is found that the control algorithm considering SSI effects is more effective than the corresponding control algorithm assuming a fixed-base system model. In addition, the advantage of applying this methodology is observed to be more prominent in the cases where the SSI effects are more significant.

## Abstract It is well known that the classical optimal control method requires all the state variables of the controlled system to be measurable and available for control feedback. However, for a highβorder or complex system some state variables are possibly unmeasurable in practice. In addition,
