Abating Earthquake Effects on Buildings by Active Slip Brace Devices

A hybrid control system for reducing building vibration under a spectrum of earthquake load amplitudes is presented. The hybrid control is accomplished by an energy dissipation device called the active slip brace device (ASBD). The hybrid control system uses the ASBD to regulate the energy dissipati...
