First Generation Benchmark
Special Issue of
Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics
vol. 27, no. 11
Due to the interest in the Structural Control benchmark
session at the 1997 ASCE Structures
Congress, and in order to obtain broader participation in this benchmark
study and wider distribution of the associated results than is possible
through a single conference session, a special issue of Earthquake
Engineering and Structural Dynamics was arranged to report the
results of the benchmark study. By focusing on issues of full-scale
implementability and performance, the special issue should be of
interest to both practitioners wanting to learn about the emerging
field of structural control, as well as researchers and students
currently engaged in system development.
17 papers, all of which underwent the standard journal review process,
were accepted for publication in the special issue. The first two
of these papers are expanded versions of the problem definition papers
given at the 1997 ASCE Structures Congress. The remaining 15 papers
apply a wide variety of control design methods, from robust control
to multiobjective optimial control to fuzzy control approaches, to the
two benchmark problems from this study (a three-story building model
with either an active mass driver or an active tendon controller).
The manuscripts of the papers were due in January 1997, were reviewed
and revised, and were published in late 1998.
Simulation Results
All of the controllers proposed by the various papers have been
independentely tested in simulation by
Erik A. Johnson,
with assistance from
Pete Quast and Dave Preissler,
using MATLAB (version 4.2c).
The MATLAB code to repeat these evaluations may be downloaded
by filling out this form.
The experimental verification of these
controllers is currently in progress.
The papers are tabulated below with links to the corresponding
abstracts,
performance results for proposed controllers, and
PDF versions of the papers.
