Structural Engineering
New structural engineering study findings have been published by F. Amini and colleagues
October 20th, 2010
According to recent research published in the journal Structural Engineering and Mechanics, "Coupled building control is a viable method to protect tall buildings from seismic excitation. In this study, the semi-active control of a building complex is investigated for mitigating seismic responses." "The building complex is formed of one main building and one podium structure connected through Magneto-Rheological (MR) Dampers and Tuned Mass Damper. The conventional semi-active control techniques require a primary controller as a reference to determine the desired control force, and modulate the input voltage of the MR damper by comparing the desired control force....
