Reliability-based measures of structural control robustness

Spencer, B.F. Jr. / Sain, M.K. / Won, C.-H. / Kaspari, D.C. / Sain, P.M.

Abstract Because of the uncertainty inherent in engineering structures, consistent probabilistic stability/performance measures are essential to accurately assessing and comparing the robustness of structural control systems. An approach is presented herein for calculating such probabilistic measures for a controlled structure. First and second order reliability methods (FORM/SORM) are shown to be appropriate for the required calculations. The concepts are illustrated through several examples of seismically excited structures with active protective systems.
