This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of significant studies published on coupled
buildings. The approach of connecting two adjacent buildings has been effectively applied …

In this study, two instantaneous optimal control performance indices for seismic control of
structures incorporating magneto-rheological (MR) dampers are analytically defined. One of …

The concept of coupled building is utilized to synchronize the response of two adjacent
buildings and reduce the minimum gap needed. This aims to avoid the pounding hazard …

Among various retrofitting strategies, use of semi-active control for retrofitting a building
structure has gained momentum in recent years. One of the techniques for such retrofitting is …

Pounding between adjacent structures during earthquakes may significantly modify their
response in terms of forces and displacements. In addition, it has a considerable influence …

The mutual impacts between adjacent buildings caused large-scale damage during past
major earthquakes sparking interest in examining the reliability and effectiveness of various …

In this paper, control of the stationary response of a half-car model with a
magnetorheological (MR) damper moving over a random road is considered. The MR …

The results of an experimental investigation on a developed small-scale MR damper for
seismic response reduction in buildings are presented in this article. The damper is intended …

In this study, a FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER is employed to synchronize the response of
two adjacent buildings coupled with a magneto-rheological (MR) damper and also, to …

With consideration of a high-rise coupled building system, a flexible beams-based analytical
model is setup to characterize the dynamic behavior of the system. The general motion …
