How to Make Buildings Earthquake-Resilient: A Control Theory Perspective
Ensuring the earthquake resilience of buildings is crucial for the safety and comfort of occupants, making it a key consideration in the design and planning of future cities. This talk provides an overview of standard approaches to building safety and earthquake resilience. Mohamed Serry will discuss how this challenge can be addressed using control theory, exploring problem formulations related to structural safety and occupant comfort. Additionally, Mohamed Serry will highlight key control methods commonly used in this field and share insights from his research.
