Gain-scheduled adaptive control of a hybrid structure /

Structures undergo large deformations when subjected to strong earthquakes, and hence exhibit nonlinear behavior. While passive base isolation systems are effective for protecting seismicaly-excited structures, they are limited to low-rise structures because for tall structures uplift forces may be...
