Seismic control of smart base isolated buildings with new semiactive variable damper.
A new semiactive independently variable damper, SAIVD, is developed and shown to be effective in achieving response reductions in smart base isolated buildings in near fault earthquakes. The semiactive device consists of four linear visco-elastic elements, commonly known as Kelvin?Voigt elements, ar...
