This paper addresses the integrated design of civil engineering structures with control systems. Simultaneous optimization of such controlled structures is considered, showing that new alternative solutions can be achieved through integrated design. A procedure for design of controlled structural systems is developed using a two-stage approach: (1) a design of an optimal control system using a linear quadratic regulator algorithm; and (2) a redesign using an optimization procedure to match the performance of the controlled system obtained in (1). A linear single degree of freedom steel portal frame and a linear nine degree of freedom shear-type structure are used as examples to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed approach that reduces the structural weight of buildings by incorporating active or passive control elements while preserving the performance objectives.

Abstract

This paper addresses the integrated design of civil engineering structures with control systems. Simultaneous optimization of such controlled structures is considered, showing that new alternative solutions can be achieved through integrated design. A procedure for design of controlled structural systems is developed using a two-stage approach: (1) a design of an optimal control system using a linear quadratic regulator algorithm; and (2) a redesign using an optimization procedure to match the performance of the controlled system obtained in (1). A linear single degree of freedom steel portal frame and a linear nine degree of freedom shear-type structure are used as examples to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed approach that reduces the structural weight of buildings by incorporating active or passive control elements while preserving the performance objectives.
