The New Generation of Building Control Concept to Suppress the Horizontal Vibration during the Earthquake

Abstract

Most of the current researches are to suppress the vibration during the earthquake for the building and always focused on either full state feedback strategies or velocity strategies. An accurate measurement is a necessary such as displacement and the velocities of the building are difficult to achieve directly, particularly during the seismic activity. In this study, it was proposed that the new generation of building control concept to suppress the horizontal vibration during the earthquake by using an active mass damper (AMD) system. The Lagrange’s, D’Alembert’s and Newton Second Law techniques are used to derive the two dimensional mathematical model of second order differential equation of AMD system. Four diagrams of stability analysis were used to identify the stability of the system before making an experimental and simulation analysis. Regarding the stability analysis, AMD system is good enough to give a positive feedback during the application of the force of vibration. Then, by using MATLAB-SIMULINK, the model was analyzed again in an experimental and simulation analysis. In this analysis, both of the result is reasonably closed where the correlation is more than 95 percent, and this would give positive responses such as time response and amplitude in order to suppress a vibration during the earthquake disaster
