The Effect of Tuned Mass Damper on Seismic Response of Building Frames with Uncertain Structural Characteristics
Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) could be used to absorb the input energy of the applied load, and reduce the response of the building frames. However, the effectiveness of TMD in reducing the response of the building frames could be affected by inherited uncertainties in the structural characteristics of the frames. In this study, in order to investigate the probabilistic response of steel moment-res...
متن کاملModular Tuned Mass Damper Units for the Spring Mountain Road Pedestrian Bridges
Modern pedestrian bridges tend to be long and slender in form, usually leading to a structural design with relatively low frequency primary modes of vibration. This type of structure can be excited to a nearly resonant response by various types of synchronized crowd activities and added damping is often required to prevent excessive structural motions and loadings. The three Spring Mountain Roa...
متن کاملReal time tuned mass damper simulation system
The major concern in the construction industry in constructing tall structures is vibration due to wind and earthquake. Tuned mass dampers are an effective and practical ways to reduce the effect of vibration in structures. This thesis presents a tool, which simulates the effect of tuned mass dampers on the structure. This tool has been proposed to form a part of the website, moment.mit.edu. Ja...
متن کاملOptimization of Tuned Mass Damper Parameters Using Evolutionary Operation Algorithm
Optimum parameters of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) are determined in this paper to minimize dynamic response of a multi-storied building system. The response of the structural system is simulated under lateral excitation. To optimize dynamic parameters of the TMD system for minimum top deflection of the structure, a numerical global optimization algorithm called Evolutionary Operation (EVOP) is use...
متن کاملFatigue and Remaining Life Assessment of Steel Bridges More than 50 Years Old
The present bridge network in Quebec includes approximately 9000 bridges of different types and represents a 9 billion dollars asset. Many bridges show signs of deterioration well before the end of the design life, supposedly between 50 to 100 years. Truck loading has increased by more than 40% in the past 40 years, and bridges have not been reinforced in order to comply with the new codes. The...
