Book Seismic Isolation  Energy Dissipation and Active Vibration Control of Structures

Download or read book Seismic Isolation Energy Dissipation and Active Vibration Control of Structures written by Gian Paolo Cimellaro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-06 with total page 1074 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers the proceedings of the 17th World Conference on Seismic Isolation (17WCSI), held in Turin, Italy on September 11-15, 2022. Endorsed by ASSISi Association (Anti-Seismic Systems International Society), the conference discussed state-of-the-art information as well as emerging concepts and innovative applications related to seismic isolation, energy dissipation and active vibration control of structures, resilience and sustainability. The volume covers highly diverse topics, including earthquake-resistant construction, protection from natural and man-made impacts, safety of structures, vulnerability, international standards on structures with seismic isolation, seismic isolation in existing structures and cultural heritage, seismic isolation in high rise buildings, seismic protection of non-structural elements, equipment and statues. The contributions, which are published after a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.

Book Practical Lessons from the Loma Prieta Earthquake

Download or read book Practical Lessons from the Loma Prieta Earthquake written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Loma Prieta earthquake struck the San Francisco area on October 17, 1989, causing 63 deaths and $10 billion worth of damage. This book reviews existing research on the Loma Prieta quake and draws from it practical lessons that could be applied to other earthquake-prone areas of the country. The volume contains seven keynote papers presented at a symposium on the earthquake and includes an overview written by the committee offering recommendations to improve seismic safety and earthquake awareness in parts of the country susceptible to earthquakes.

Book Stochastic Optimal Control of Structures

Download or read book Stochastic Optimal Control of Structures written by Yongbo Peng and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes, for the first time, a basic formulation for structural control that takes into account the stochastic dynamics induced by engineering excitations in the nature of non-stationary and non-Gaussian processes. Further, it establishes the theory of and methods for stochastic optimal control of randomly-excited engineering structures in the context of probability density evolution methods, such as physically-based stochastic optimal (PSO) control. By logically integrating randomness into control gain, the book helps readers design elegant control systems, mitigate risks in civil engineering structures, and avoid the dilemmas posed by the methods predominantly applied in current practice, such as deterministic control and classical linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control associated with nominal white noises.
