The Use of Tmd's with Heavy Mass to Mitigate the Seismic Response of Structures
Abstract eng: This document demonstrates the usefulness, operation and design of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) in the structural control of seismic response. This vibration control system, which main asset is the introduction of additional damping on structural system, can improve the structural behavior particularly in terms of forces and displacements, in case of seismic loads. This paper describes some practical situations using TMDs and the theoretical approach of their operation. Then, design graphics are presented as a result of the research work developed at FEUP and the effectiveness of this type of solution is demonstrated by an illustrative example.
