Featured Application The discussion in this article could be used as a literature study on the
application of semi-active damping to building structures in general and the application of …

Environmental statistics is a rapidly growing field, supported by advances in digital
computing power, automated data collection systems, and interactive, linkable Internet …

This paper presents a novel data-driven approach for active structural control through the
use of deep reinforcement learning, wherein, the control system learns to react in an optimal …

Dynamic finite element analyses of a four‐story steel building frame modeled as a fine mesh
of solid elements are performed using E‐Simulator, which is a parallel finite element …

Most dampers are designed for major earthquakes, while small earthquakes are likely to
occur during the useful life cycle of buildings, and these smaller earthquakes may also …

This article is a review about applications for non-passive control response of buildings
(namely active, hybrid and semi-active systems), wherein the degree of integration between …

In this paper a semi-active method to control the vibrations of twin beams connected at their
tips by a smart damping element is investigated. The damping element can be made of a …

In this report, the capabilities of the adaptively shifted integration (ASI)‐Gauss code in the
analysis of the seismic responses of framed structures are verified and validated by …

As of today, about 80 buildings equipped with active or semi-active devices for wind and
earthquake-induced motion control have been reported. In the first part of this technical note …

In this paper, an optimal feedback, for a free vibrating semi-active controlled plant, is
derived. The problem is represented as a constrained optimal control problem of a single …
