This paper reports the application of optimized passive and semi-active control to a seismically excited three-story steel frame, well-known in the literature because it has been used as a first generation benchmark test; the structural control is obtained by using special bracing systems. It is shown that well- designed passive bracings may be fully competitive with active tendons control; moreover by using semi-active systems, (an interesting evolution of the corresponding passive ones), further control improvements are obtained.

Abstract
This paper reports the application of optimized passive and semi-active control to a seismically excited three-story steel frame, well-known in the literature because it has been used as a first generation benchmark test; the structural control is obtained by using special bracing systems. It is shown that well- designed passive bracings may be fully competitive with active tendons control; moreover by using semi-active systems, (an interesting evolution of the corresponding passive ones), further control improvements are obtained.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
