The Influence of Soil Structure Interaction on the Placement of Active Control Systems in Structures

This article begins by outlining the developed program and subsequently applies it to typical structures to emphasize the importance of active control and SSI. The study involves a comparison of dynamic response and control force results to determine the optimal controller position for a column-beam type structure, with and without considering SSI. The central question addressed is whether the influence of soil-structure interaction can be disregarded in selecting the optimal controller position. To address this, a digital simulation is conducted on a simple three-story structure within this document.
