Comparative Seismic Response of Damped Braced Frames
The behaviours of braced steel building frames with friction joints and with eccentric bracing, under seismic forces, are compared. Nonlinear time history dynamic analysis is used. Friction...

Modified Dynamic Condensation Method
This paper presents a modification of the Dynamic Condensation Method for the reduction or condensation of problems in structural dynamics. The proposed modification substantially reduces...

A hybrid approach to study the dynamic through-the-soil coupling between adjacent foundations embedded in a uniform soil model when subjected to harmonic external forces and seismic excitation...

Modeling for Finite-Element Soil-Structure Interaction Analysis
The modeling for finite-element soil-structure interaction analysis for embedded structures is evaluated in an attempt to resolve the issue related to the elevation at which design ground...

Boundary Zone Superposition Method for Linear and Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Infinite Domain Problems
The method is applicable to problems where input loads are imposed from within the finite element model or to problems where disturbances outside the finite element model generate input...

On Analysis of Dynamic Structure/Media Interaction
A version of the Global-Local Finite Element Method (GLFEM) is applied to the analysis of soil-structure interaction under steady-state excitation. The soil medium is considered to be...

Active Control of Distributed Parameters Structures by Pointwise Control Actions
Several methods have been offered to control a structure. These methods are the optimal control, the pole assignment, the independent modal space control, and the direct velocity feedback....

Optimal Control of Seismic Structures
This paper presents the algorithm for optimal design of structural systems with active tendon controllers and/or active mass dampers. The structure is subjected to earthquake excitation...

Application of Modern Control Theory for Building Structures
Active control systems can be used to reduce the effect of strong-motion earthquakes. During the past two decades, various approaches have been applied to find the optimal control law....

Constrained Viscoelastic Layers for Passive Vibration Control of Structures
Infills with constrained viscoelastic layers for increasing the energy absorption capacity of structures are examined. The infills are expected to 'work' in the...

Bounded State Control of Structures with Uncertain Parameters
The control of linear systems in the presence of set constrained external disturbances has been investigated maintaining the states in a prespecified region by estimating the maximum reachable...
