A State-of-the-Art Review on Active Control of Structures

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

An updated state-of-the-art review on response-triggered structural control system is presented. The review mainly focuses on the active control of structures for earthquake excitations, and covers theoretical backgrounds of different active control schemes, important parametric observations on active structural control, limitations and difficulties of their practical implementation, and brief descriptions of three actively controlled tall buildings in Japan. A brief introduction of more promising semi-active control of structures is also presented.
