Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) consists of mass, spring (stiffness) and damper. Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a passive energy dissipation device which absorbs energy&reduces dynamic responses. It is attached to vibratory system. The principle of Tuned Mass Damper is that, its damping ratio is same as that of main structure. The effect of TMD with optimum parameters (frequency ratio&mass ration) given by Sadek, F (1997), is studied. In this paper TMD is used as soft story which is considered to be made up of RCC, constructed at the top of the building. A six storied building with rectangular shape is considered for analysis. TMDs with percentage masses 2%, 3%&5.5% are considered. Three different recorded time histories of past EQ. are used for the analysis. Comparison is done between the buildings with TMD and without TMD.

Abstract


Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) consists of mass, spring (stiffness) and damper. Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a passive energy dissipation device which absorbs energy&reduces dynamic responses. It is attached to vibratory system. The principle of Tuned Mass Damper is that, its damping ratio is same as that of main structure. The effect of TMD with optimum parameters (frequency ratio&mass ration) given by Sadek, F (1997), is studied. In this paper TMD is used as soft story which is considered to be made up of RCC, constructed at the top of the building. A six storied building with rectangular shape is considered for analysis. TMDs with percentage masses 2%, 3%&5.5% are considered. Three different recorded time histories of past EQ. are used for the analysis. Comparison is done between the buildings with TMD and without TMD.
