The large impact loads induced by this phenomenon usually lead to catastrophic results. One way to overcome this effect is to couple the structures through elastic or damping elements. This article examines the use of a new variable damping device as a coupling element. The system, which is termed a variable damping semiactive (VDSA) device, consists of two dampers with constant parameters whose lower ends are attached to a common vertical rod whereas the upper ends are attached to the two structures. As the structures vibrate due to the ground motion, the lower end is moved up and down by means of an actuator. By changing the orientation of the dampers, the effective damping in the two structures can be changed in time in an appropriate manner to minimize the response. A new control law is used to calculate the optimal position of the dampers. The algorithm, referred to as Qv, is a variation of the Instantaneous Optimal Control and it is based on the minimization of a performance index J quadratic in the state vector, the control force vector, and a vector of absolute velocities measured at selected points. The algorithm includes a generalized LQR scheme where penalties are imposed on the state vector, on the control vector, and on the absolute velocity vector through three predefined matrices. A numerical simulation is used to verify the performance of the proposed protective system in reducing the seismic response to a series of historic earthquakes. The results show that the proposed device is able not only to eliminate the pounding effects but also to significantly reduce the response of the individual adjacent structures<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-8667.2007.00537.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,19]],"date-time":"2008-03-19T14:26:24Z","timestamp":1205936784000},"page":"291-308","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Numerical Investigation of a Variable Damping Semiactive Device for the Mitigation of the Seismic Response of Adjacent Structures"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Orlando","family":"Cundumi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Luis E.","family":"Su\u00e1rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"ATC\/BSSC.
