Abstract
This paper proposes an active vibration control method for multiple high-rise buildings connected with control device. This method has a merit of obtaining sufficient control force under low frequency and it is possible to control vibration of the super tall buildings against strong winds and earthquake motion. In this paper, two model buildings are connected by an actuator consisted of a DC servo motor, ballscrew and plate springs. The objective of this experiment is to control the first and second bending mode of each building. Control effects have been validated through simulation studies and experimental result.
