Due to the large population density in big urban centers, building taller and closer buildings
is necessary. The high flexibility of these buildings can lead to excessive vibration problems …

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 …

Viscous dampers (VDs) connecting adjacent multi-story buildings are significantly useful not
only for preventing severe earthquake-induced pounding, but also for mitigating the …

This study describes an optimal hybrid control approach of two similar adjacent buildings for
seismic performance improvement, for which the passive dampers are used as link …

The need for a more affordable, reliable, clean and secure energy has led to explorations in
non-traditional sources, particularly renewable energies. Wind is one of the cleanest energy …

In recent years, high-rise buildings received a renewed interest as a means by which
technical and economic advantages can be achieved, especially in areas of high population …

It is widely known that, in the vibration control problem of two adjacent structures, an inter-
building coupling approach with the connecting damper is more efficient than an …

The design of vibration control systems for the seismic protection of closely adjacent
buildings is a complex and challenging problem. In this paper, we consider distributed multi …

The appropriate use of energy dissipating devices improves the behavior of structures when
subjected to external loads, defining the optimal location of the dampers; therefore, it is …

This study deals with optimal control of the coupling active tuned mass damper (ATMD)
system for two neighboring structures under earthquake excitations. It also investigates the …
