β¦ Synopsis
Optimal control of base-isolated and non-base-isolated buildings subjected to earthquake excitation is aonsidered. The control force at any instant is determined on-line through minimizing a quadratic time-dependent performance index based on the total energy imparted to the structure and the control effect. This control algorithm is based upon the use of discrete actuators and sensors that exert the control force and monitor the response of the building. Having constant gain matrices makes this algorithm efficient and easy to implement. The effect of time delay on the efficiency of the algorithm is investigated. Comparisons have been made to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

## Abstract Exact optimal classical closedβopenβloop control is not achievable for the buildings under seismic excitations since it requires the whole knowledge of earthquake in the control interval. In this study, a new numerical algorithm for the subβoptimal solution of the optimal closedβopenβlo
The paper presents a control scheme based on the sliding-mode-control approach. The analytical formulation focuses on the development of (1) a convenient, systematic and general scheme to achieve the so-called regular form of the equations of motion required to uncouple the control actions from the
