THE APPROACH OF HEDGE ALGEBRAS IN VIBRATION CONTROL OF BUILDING STRUCTURES SUBJECTED TO SEISMIC EXCITATION

Abstract

Vibration control problems of seismic-excited civil structures have attracted
considerable attention in recent years. This paper introduces the approach of
Hedge Algebras (HA) in vibration control of building structures subjected to
seismic excitation. In which, establish steps of Hedge-Algebras-based Fuzzy
Controller (HAC) are summarized. Application of HAC in vibration control is
performed using a building model subjected to seismic excitations to prove the
validity of the HAC in the aforementionedproblem.
