Abstract :
This paper describes a full scale implementation of an active vibration control system on a 250 foot span steel truss highway bridge. An adaptive modal filter based modal control scheme is utilized in conjunction with a prototype long stroke electromagnetic reaction mass control actuator to achieve up to 20 db attenuation of modal response amplitudes
