Abstract

A robust decentralized control method, recently proposed in the literature, applies to multi-story buildings under seismic excitation. The stability is checked by Lyapunov theory. Adjustments of the method are introduced and a performance criterion is added. Heuristic optimization tools are adopted to manage the highly nonlinear problem. The performance of the control method and the validity of the performance criterion are assessed through numerical examples.
