Objectives

This course covers the basic concepts of structural control such as passive, semi-active and active control. After completing the course, the students will understand the difference between passive and active structural control. They will gain knowledge about the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller and are able to optimize the parameter of PID controller in active controlled structures under earthquake records using metaheuristic algorithms.
