Abstract
The Connected Control Method (CCM) has attracted attention as a new control method for vibration of high-rise buildings. The effectiveness of CCM has already been established in previous studies. However, the level of control force required to CCM often excess the allowable stress of structures. In this study, to alleviate the effect of concentrated control force, distributed CCMs connecting structures at multiple levels is introduced. In this paper, the effectiveness of distributed CCMs is investigated through computer simulations and experiments using earthquake excitation records. The influence of numbers and locations of actuators on control performance is examined and the advantage of distributed CCMs to reduce stress is confirmed.
