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

โฆ Synopsis
The article considers the application of multilayer control theory in multivariable fuzzy systems. Some definitions and theorems with regard to such systems are given. Multilayer control algorithms, based on active decomposition of the original system into layers, are presented and illustrated by numerical examples. The algorithms use sets of transforming fuzzy relations, leading to a unilayer solution when added to the original fuzzy relations. The solution is dependent on a subset of state variables as the other variables are taken into account implicitly. It is shown that the number of measured variables and fuzzy relations is significantly reduced and thus real-time measurement and control implementation is faciliated.

Passive supplemental damping in a seismically isolated structure provides the necessary energy dissipation to limit the isolation system displacement. However, damper forces can become quite large as the passive damping level is increased, resulting in the requirement to transfer large forces at the
