In the last decade, various types of transformable building structures have been developed, such as deployable tensegrity, scissor-like and origami-inspired systems, well reconfigurable rigid-bar linkage adaptive compliant structures. The development systems owns to advances in material design kinetics, while aiming at an improved sustainability built environment. Their conceptualization invest...

Currently, people worldwide, in the period from September to April, observe with their own eyes and feel pollution of air, called smog, breath. The biggest cause smog source air is burning rubbish stoves. Other causes include exhaust fumes large factories, coal furnaces, car fumes. Smog an unnatural phenomenon, directly related human activity. weather becoming worse. On no-wind, foggy days, phe...

In this paper the control algorithm for controlled civil structures subjected to earthquake excitation is thoroughly investigated. The objective of this work is the control of structures by means of the pole placement algorithm, in order to improve their response against earthquake actions. Successful application of the algorithm requires judicious placement of the closed-loop eigenvalues from ...
