ContributeAbstract
High-rate global navigation satellite system (GNSS) has emerged as an effective method to recover seismic waveforms without saturation and drifts, but it has the limitation of relatively lower sampling rate and higher noise level compared to seismic instruments. In this study, we present a new seismogeodetic method by integrating GNSS and accelerometer data to obtain optimal real-time seismic waveforms. Unlike traditional integration methods based on GNSS techniques of relative positioning or precise point positioning, the new method uses a GNSS time difference technique and inherits its unique advantage in real-time and high-accuracy velocity solutions. Furthermore, by incorporating the tightly coupled structure, it can overcome the cascading problem and provide more accurate and robust waveforms compared to its loosely coupled counterpart. The performance of this method is first compared with the traditional loosely coupled approach in challenging environments through a set of shake table experiments. With three GNSS satellites, this approach method can improve the accuracy of velocities and displacements by 42 and 87 per cent, respectively. With four or more GNSS satellites, the average improvements of the method reach 25 and 41 per cent for the velocities and displacements, respectively. We then validate the full performances of the method through simulated shake table experiments and collocated GNSS and accelerometer data during the 2016 Mw 6.6 central Italy earthquake. The simulated and real-event analyses demonstrate that the new integration method can take full advantage of the complementary characteristics of GNSS and accelerometer sensors. By providing more accurate and broad-band velocity and displacement waveforms in a real-time or near-real-time manner, this method is quite promising in earthquake early warning and rapid source inversion.

Shake Table I-40Abstract
The aim of this research is to develop a novel design of interval type-2 neuro-fuzzy (IT2NF) controller for active vibration control of a flexible structure during an earthquake. For this purpose, two adaptive neural network based fuzzy logic controllers are designed and combined to create the novel design of an IT2NF controller to reduce the vibrations of two-storey flexible building model that occur during earthquake disturbance effects. Accordingly, dynamic modeling of a flexible structure is realized and simulated using the MATLAB / SimMechanics. Then, an experimental setup consisting of two-storey flexible structure, active mass damper (AMD) and shaker is established. Additionally, IT2NF controller is implemented in simulation and experimental models, and the effectiveness and performance of the IT2NF controller are tested under the scaled Northridge Earthquake acceleration. The obtained simulations and experimental responses are evaluated in terms of cart displacements, deflections, and accelerations of the flexible floors showing a good agreement between the simulations and the experimental results. The results show that the designed novel IT2NF controller reduced the total deflections of first and second floor by 72.3% and 68.7%, respectively, when compared with the uncontrolled system. Additionally, it is also found that the designed IT2NF controller is able to reduce the accelerations of the first and second floor by 64.8% and 54.6%, respectively. The proposed and designed control method reported in this study can be employed as an active vibration controller for multi-degree of freedom of flexible systems under the disturbances such as earthquake excitations.
Aeroelastic Real-Time Hybrid Simulation (aeroRTHS): Validation and Mitigation of Vortex Induced Vibration of a Tall Building Structure
Product(s):
Shake Table I-40Abstract
A new analysis method, called aeroelastic real-time hybrid simulation (aeroRTHS), is proposed to study aeroelastic vibrations of a tall building model in a wind tunnel. The aeroRTHS method captures dynamic interactions between an aeroelastic structure and the wind loading to more accurately analyze unstable wind phenomena such as vortex induced vibration (VIV) and in doing so broadens the application of RTHS from sesimic applications to wind engineering and eventually to multi-hazard analyses. A 1 meter tall rigid model with an aspect ratio of 7.3 was mounted on a modified single-axis shake table, which is able to convert translational motions to the corresponding rotations at the base of the model, to allow for the model to behave in the wind tunnel as an aeroelastic structure. A total of 128 pressure sensors on both crosswind surfaces of the model measured the envelope pressure loading in the real-time condition. Compensation techniques were developed and utilized with respect to pneumatic fluctuations either from the shake table or pressure measurements along with testing the robust stability of the aeroRTHS. This proof-of-concept study validates the proposed aeroRTHS framework by conducting a series of tests in a boundary layer wind tunnel. A further step of the aeroRTHS testing was to assess the effects of including a passive tuned mass damper (TMD) to the numerical substructures; and their performance in suppressing VIV were investigated. Parameter studies were conducted by varying dynamic properties of the building models and also by utilizing two different mass ratios of the TMD to the building model. Results demonstrate that the feasibility of the aeroRTHS method to investigate aero-structures under VIV and reveal that the augmentation of buildings with TMDs is an effective way to attenuate cross-wind vibration in tall buildings.
Behaviour of rigid block on uniform sand under horizontal base acceleration

Shake Table I-40Abstract
The behavior of rigid structures on rigid base or deformable media such as soil has been addressed by many researchers in the past. The behavior of a rigid body on the soil under static or cyclic actions, such as self-weight, wind or earthquake, is of great concern for both structural and geotechnical engineers. The engineers have to take into consideration the effects of such forces on the structure itself and on the soil as well. Here, a very significant role is in the soil-structure interaction. The paper presents the behavior of a rigid block on a uniform, medium dense, sand under horizontal acceleration of the base. A 6 cm wide rigid aluminum block with different height to width ratio (H/B) has been used. Hight to width ratio used in this research was 2.25, 3.75 and 4.5. The block was either placed on the sand (D = 0 cm) or was embedded in the sand prior to subjecting it to horizontal excitation using small shake table. The embedment depth D varied from 0 to 6 cm. The horizontal excitation was a sinusoidal displacement function with different amplitude and frequency. Frequency varied from 0.5 to 3 Hz while the amplitude varied from 0.5 to 5 cm. Combination of various frequencies and amplitudes were used to determine the critical combination of amplitude and frequency for a given height to weight ratio which was later used for more detailed analysis and numerical verification. Displacements of a rigid block and sand below the rigid block were measured using a contactless measurement system, ARAMIS. The results obtained through ARAMIS system were later used as a reference displacement for numerical analysis. Numerical simulations were performed using Rocscience RS2 software. Mohr-Coulomb model was used in numerical simulation.

Shake Table I-40Abstract
The paper refers to a shaking table on a single axis designed to test the acceleration sensors used in the evaluation of seismic waves. Studying P waves in order to evaluate the intensity of S waves is a continuous challenge in the field of earthquake research and requires expensive equipment to perform seismic wave simulation, such as shaking table. In this context, it is presented the realization of a shaking table actuated by an electrodynamic actuator of diffuser type controlled by means of a power amplifier. The seismic wave configuration is transmitted to the amplifier via SCPI commands on a computer running a LabVIEW application.
A tuning algorithm for a sliding mode controller of buildings with ATMD
Abstract
This paper proposes an automatic tuning algorithm for a sliding mode controller (SMC) based on the Ackermann's formula, that attenuates the structural vibrations of a seismically excited building equipped with an Active Tuned Mass Damper (ATMD) mounted on its top floor. The switching gain and sliding surface of the SMC are designed through the proposed tuning algorithm to suppress the structural vibrations by minimizing either the top floor displacement or the control force applied to the ATMD. Moreover, the tuning algorithm selects the SMC parameters to guarantee the following closed-loop characteristics: 1) the transient responses of the structure and the ATMD are sufficiently fast and damped; and 2) the control force, as well as the displacements and velocities of the building and ATMD are within acceptable limits under the frequency band of the earthquake excitation. The proposed SMC shows robustness against the unmodeled dynamics such as the friction of the damper. Experimental results on a reduced scale structure permits demonstrating the efficiency of the tuning algorithm for the SMC, which is compared with the traditional Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR).

Discrete-time sliding mode for building structure bidirectional active vibration control
Product(s):
Shake Table I-40BibTex
Abstract
In terms of vibrations along bidirectional earthquake forces, several problems are faced when modelling and controlling the structure of a building, such as lateral-torsional vibration, uncertainties surrounding the rigidity and the difficulty of estimating damping forces.
In this paper, we use a fuzzy logic model to identify and compensate the uncertainty which does not require an exact model of the building structure. To attenuate bidirectional vibration, a novel discrete-time sliding mode control is proposed. This sliding mode control has time-varying gain and is combined with fuzzy sliding mode control in order to reduce the chattering of the sliding mode control. We prove that the closed-loop system is uniformly stable using Lyapunov stability analysis. We compare our fuzzy sliding mode control with the traditional controllers: proportional–integral–derivative and sliding mode control. Experimental results show significant vibration attenuation with our fuzzy sliding mode control and horizontal-torsional actuators. The proposed control system is the most efficient at mitigating bidirectional and torsional vibrations.
