Summary
Passively controlled structural systems may exhibit a rare capability in resisting dynamic actions under adverse special or unexpected conditions. Improvements of the overall performance of a passive system may be obtained by introducing additional control devices, possibly coupling different technological solutions and moving to mixed systems. In this paper the performance of a base isolation system is increased by embedding in the control layout an active device, controlled by a newly designed control algorithm.
