Advances in Structural Control in Civil Engineering in China
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the recent years, much attention has been paid to the research and development of structural control techniques with particular emphasis on alleviation of wind and seismic responses of buildings and bridges in China. Structural control in civil engineering has been developed from the concept into a workable technology and applied into practical engineering structures. The aim of this paper is to review a state of the art of researches and applications of structural control in civil engineering in China. It includes the passive control, active control, hybrid controland semiactive control. Finally, the possible future directions of structural control in civil engineering in China are presented.

In this research, the structural behavior of timber and concrete sleepers in a standard railway turnout is evaluated, in the case of raising speed. In approaching this evaluation, current practices in the structural analysis of sleepers are surveyed and then, the sensitivity analysis with ABAQUS software is made based on selected criteria (bending and shear stresses as well as contact pressure)...
متن کاملA Semi-Active Variable Stiffness and Damping System for Vibration Control of Civil Engineering Structures
This paper proposes a new semi-active variable stiffness and damping system (AVSD) for vibration control of civil engineering structures. The AVSD system can alter rigidity and damping of the controlled structure at each control interval to attenuate the structural responses. The composition of two hydraulic cylinder-piston systems of the AVSD system is capable of amplifying the interstory drif...
