Structural Control in Honor of Takuji Kobori

Abstract eng:
In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to research and development of structural control devices, with particular emphasis on alleviation of wind and seismic response of building and bridges. Serious efforts have been undertaken in the last two decades to develop the structural control concept into a workable technology. Full-scale implementation of active, hybrid, and semiactive control systems have been accomplished in several structures all over the world. Those control systems employ controllable force devices integrated with sensors, controllers and real-time information processing. This paper includes introduce the commonly seen control devices used in active/hybrid and semiactive control systems and review the recent implementation in full-scale structures.
