Sessions to be held at the
Second World Conference on Structural Control
June 28 - July 1, 1998 in Kyoto, Japan
Benchmark Comparisons in Structural Control
Session Organizers:
Prof. J.N. Yang, University of California, Irvine, California
Prof. K. Seto, Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan
Abstract:
The next generation of benchmark structural control studies were
initiated by the Working Group on Building Control (chaired by Profs. J.N.
Yang, K. Seto and C.S. Yeh) during the Second International Workshop on
Structural Control held December 18-20, 1996, in Hong Kong. As stated
by the Working Group, the goal of this effort is to develop benchmark
models to provide systematic and standardized means by which competing
control strategies, including devices, algorithms, sensors, etc., can be
evaluated. This goal drives the next generation of structural control
benchmark problems, and its achievement will take the structural control
community another step toward the realization and implementation of
innovative control strategies for dynamic hazard mitigation.
These sessions bring together a group of highly qualified researchers to study two well defined benchmark problems.
The first benchmark problem focuses on seismically excited buildings.
The second proposes a benchmark problem for wind excited buildings.
All researchers are welcome to study the structural control benchmark
problem presented for this session. If you are interested in receiving

data/models, please click here.
Benchmark Sessions
The three sessions each have 6 papers. The first papers in sessions I and II provide an overview and definition of the benchmark problems. The remaining 16 papers will apply various control strategies to this problem and discuss the ability of the respective approaches to meet performance specifications while not violating control constraints.

the respective contributions to the benchmark sessions. These papers will
appear in the Proceedings of the 2nd World Conference on Structural Control.
