Abstract
AbstractAn active tendon control system for civil engineering cable‐supported structures is proposed. The technique is based on a tendon actuator collocated with a force sensor. A large‐scale mock‐up using industrial components has been built and widely tested. The test‐bed is a model of cable‐stayed bridge during its construction phase, equipped with hydraulic actuators on the two longest stay‐cables. The results of several damping experiences are presented; they clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the active damping system. The proposed technology is directly applicable to real structures by scaling up the devices.
