Predictive Control for Earthquake Response Mitigation of Buildings Using Semiactive Fluid Dampers

A predictive control strategy in conjunction with semiactive control algorithms is proposed for damping control of base-isolated structures employing semiactive fluid dampers when subjected to earthquake loads. The controller considers the delays resulting from the device’s dynamics and an observer...
