Shake Table Test of the Benchmark Building Model for Structural Control

The development of structural control has been progressed for years. Many control algorithms and control systems have been proposed. Some of them have been applied to real structure; some still concentrate on the numerical simulation. Different structural control systems always have different kinds of control logic and concepts. Researchers usually focus on the control effect of their own control system. There are few research in the comparison between different kinds of structure control systems(Spencer, 1998). In recent years, some researchers proposed some numerical benchmark models. Different control systems or control algorithms can use the benchmark model to compare the control efficiency. Based on this concept, this study designs, analyzes, and builds a real benchmark model to provide different control systems and algorithms a comparison plate. Through the shake table test, the control efficiencies between different control systems and control algorithms can be compared. Furthermore, the application of the structural control system can be more realistic and popular.
