A mixed H2/ H∞ output-feedback control design methodology for vibration reduction of base-isolated building structures modelled in the form of second-order linear systems is presented. Sufficient conditions for the design of a desired control are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. A controller that guarantees asymptotic stability and a mixed H2/ H∞ performance for the closed-loop system of the structure is developed, based on a Lyapunov function. The performance of the controller is evaluated by means of simulations in MATLAB/Simulink.

Although remarkable studies are reported about active structural control of seismically excited building structures and different control algorithms are introduced, most of the available control strategies have neglected the effects of time-delay in the control system. However, the time-delay has a significant influence on the control performance so that instability in responses may occur if time-delay is not considered in design of controllers and their control algorithms. In this paper, two types of controllers (state feedback and dynamic output feedback controllers) are designed for vibration suppression of seismically excited building structures considering the effects of time-delay. To this aim, the dynamic differential equations of a system with an artificial time-delay are first written. Then, the dynamic system is converted into delay-free equations by using a special integral transformation. Finally, state feedback and dynamic output feedback controllers are designed by using the [Formula: see text] control theory. Simulation results show that the suggested control algorithms can effectively suppress the vibrations of building structures under time-delay conditions.


The main provisions of the concept of technology of diamond cutting and drilling of building structures are considered. The innovativeness of the technology, its main possibilities and advantages are presented. Carrying out works with the help of this technology in underwater conditions expands its use when constructing and reconstructing hydraulic structure. The use of diamond drilling equipment with motors equipped with an internal combustion engine is considered. Drilling holes with a variable diameter during the reconstruction of the runways of airfields makes it possible to combine the landing mats into a single structure. The ability to cut inside the concrete mass, parallel to the front surface, has no analogues among the methods of concrete treatment. The use of this technology for producing blind openings in the body of concrete without weakening the structure is also unique. Work with precision quality in cutting and diamond drilling of concrete and reinforced concrete was noted by architects and began to be implemented in the manufacture of inter-room and inter-floor openings. Non-destructive approach to the fragmentation of building structures allows them to be reused. The technology of diamond cutting and drilling is located at the junction of new construction, repair, reconstruction of buildings and structures, and dismantling of structures. Attention is paid to the complexity and combinatorial application of diamond technology. Economic efficiency and ecological safety of diamond technology are presented. The main directions of further research for the development of technology are indicated.
