  • Active robust control of cable-stayed bridges

    Creator:
    Scheer, Dietmar
    Abstract:
    Long bridges tend to develop large deformations under the action of intense dynamical loads such as wind or earthquakes. Unless these deformations are controlled in some fashion, the structure might suffer damage or even collapse. One possible solution to this problem is to apply external forces to the bridge through...

  • Aseismic performance of a cable-stayed structure with decentralized H[infinity] control

    Creator:
    Chńg, Guan B.
    Abstract:
    The dissertation uses state-of-the-art structural engineering theories, in parallel with the modern and still-developing control theory of electrical engineering to mitigate the vibratory responses of a double-stayed bridge subjected to strong earthquake ground motions. First, a nonlinear finite element model of the double-stayed bridge subjected to non-uniform (multi-support) earthquake excitations...
