Synopsis
This text provides a basis for the preliminary design of motion sensitive structures and bridges the gap between conventional structural design and the emerging field of motion based design. It contains an outline of basic concepts, computational procedures and behavioural issues for structural motion control. Examples illustrating the application of the motion based design paradigm to a range of buildings are also presented. Topics covered include optimal stiffness distributions, the role of damping in controlling motion, tuned mass dampers, base isolation systems and active control.
