Abstract
The utilization of structural control systems for alleviating the responses of civil engineering structures, under the effects of different kinds of dynamics loadings, has become a standard technology, although there are still numerous research approaches for advancing the effectiveness of these methodologies. The aim of this article is to review the state-of-the-art technologies in structural control systems by introducing a general literature review for all types of vibrations control systems that have appeared up to now. These systems can be classified into four main groups: (a) passive; (b) semi-active; (c) active; and (d) hybrid systems, based on their operational mechanisms. A brief description of each of these main groups and their subgroups, with their corresponding advantages and disadvantages, is also given. This article will conclude by providing an overview of some innovative practical implementations of devices that are able to demonstrate the potential and future direction of structural control systems in civil engineering.
