Substructure Synthesis Analysis and Hybrid Control Design for Buildings under Seismic Excitation

We extend the application of the substructure synthesis method to more complex structures, and establish a design methodology for base isolation and active control in a distributed model of a building under seismic excitation. Our objective is to show that passive and active control complement each...
