Considerable effort has been devoted to develop passive and active methods for reducing structural response under seismic excitations. Passive control approaches have already found application in practice. Active control methods, on the other hand, are being vigorously examined for application to ci

In this paper, composite robust active control schemes are proposed for a class of non-linear base isolated structures in the presence of unknown seismic excitation, parametrical uncertainties and actuator dynamics. Only the information on state variables of the structural base and the first floor o
## Abstract In this paper a predictive control method especially suitable for the control of semiβactive friction dampers is proposed. By keeping the adjustable slip force of a semiβactive friction damper slightly lower than the critical friction force, the method allows the damper to remain in its
