Question 1

What is the primary function of active control systems?

  • To passively absorb vibrations
  • To actively apply forces based on real-time data
  • To stabilize structures without any input

💡 Hint: Consider how these systems interact with external forces.

Question 2

True or False: Semi-active control systems can apply forces to stabilize structures.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the key difference between active and semi-active.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a scenario incorporating both active and semi-active systems in a new skyscraper. Explain how each system would function in response to varying seismic activity levels.

💡 Hint: Think about different levels of response needed for different seismic events.

Question 2

Assess the limitations of both active and semi-active control systems in urban environments. Discuss how these limitations could impact structural design choices.

💡 Hint: Consider urban challenges like space, maintenance, and power supply.
