Abstract

MR damper as a semi-active control tool and rooftop tank as a passive control element are effective alone in reducing structural responses. By using these two control systems in one structure, a hybrid control system is built which improves the efficiency of the structural control system. In this research, the novel hybrid control system is proposed to reduce the responses of the structure. In the proposed hybrid control system, an MR damper is considered on the last floor of the structure, and instead of adding more MR dampers to the structure, a tank is utilized as a tuned liquid mass damper on the roof of the structure.
