Abstract
A review is presented for vibration suppression of smart civil structures with piezoelectric control actuation. Piezoceramics have been known as low-cost, lightweight, and easy-to-implement materials for active control of structural vibration. This paper first presents basics about piezoceramic materials, various actuation methods and types of piezoceramic actuators. Then this paper reviews researches in application of piezoceramic actuators in various civil structures such as beams, steel frames, trusses, and stay-cable bridges. This paper concludes with future trends in active vibration control using smart materials.
