- Abstract
- To reduce the effect of lateral earthquake ground motion on structures, active control systems can be used. During the last several decades, many different approaches have been applied to find a suitable gain matrix for the control law. Several recent investigations have been summerized and reviewed herein. In addition, a technique on basis of the system identification methods is developed and presented.
