Abstract

The paper summarises some modelling methods for use with civil structures containing active elements (in both differential equation and state-space form) and examines design optimization applied to these models. The optimization techniques are extended to give a means of making a quantitative relative assessment between different positions for the active element. Some results are presented, and the relevance of the technique in the context of an overall design methodology is discussed.
