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...

In the present paper, active control system is used in different heights of the building and the most effective part was studied where the active control system is applied. The mathematical model of the building is established in MATLAB and in order to active control the system FLC method was used. Three different locations of the building are chosen to apply active control system, namely at th...

This paper investigates the use of inerters for vibration suppression of a multistorey building structure. The inerter was proposed as a two-terminal replacement for the mass element, with the property that the applied force is proportional to the relative acceleration across its terminals. It completes the force-current mechanical-electrical network analogy, providing the mechanical equivalent...

Considering the stress cycles in the joints and members due to wave induced forces on offshore platforms, fatigue analysis is therefore one of the most important analyses in the offshore platforms design. Although most of the steel jacket type platforms are designed and located in areas with relatively high ratios of operational sea-states, for maximum environmental events, would have acceptabl...

abstract: appealing to the principle of vertical residence and stemming the horizontal expansion of the city, the tehran milad tower is being built on 35000 sm3 site with the total area of 220000 sm3. with a height of over 170m, this 56-story concrete building is in the final stages of construction and would be the highest residential building of iran. since tehran is located in a high-risk ear...
