Objective
The destructive consequences of earthquake push structural engineers and researchers towards new ways of mitigation of earthquake hazards. The project joins the efforts of research groups from 5 seismically active countries. It is focused on the following aspects:
1.Elaboration of optimal and robust control algorithms. Elaboration of relevant computational procedures and recommendation on design of active, passive or hybrid control devices.
2.Investigation of smart materials for the use in seismic protection devices. Implementation of elastomeric seismic-isolators based on the coupling with suitable monitoring devices. Examination of SMA and their coupling with elastomers for the use as control elements of passive devices.
The ultimate goal is to suggest theoretically substantiated recommendation for choice of optimal schemes of base isolation and optimal parameters of the building bases, minimizing the negative effect of seismic impact. Active control systems are also to be conceived, analysed and implemented. Their coupling with base isolation will offer an effective solution against the shortcomings of passive control. Alternatively, active control is the most effective way to mitigate vibration of flexible structures. The aim of this application is twofold. First, it will allow the further progress in the research performed in the framework of the previous INTAS project. Second, it will give to the researches of the NIS countries the opportunity to be involved in the ERA and to collaborate with the partners from EU in a priority area of the EU research programme.
