Description

Realistic 12-story energy-dissipative Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) building systems are proposed to mitigate story and structural damage due to seismic loads. The upper two and four stories are isolated and used as the tuned mass, saving excessive non-functional added weight. Further, it is proposed to replace the passive spring damper with semi-active resetable devices, creating more adaptive resetable device based semi-active TMD (SATMD) systems. Semi-actively manipulating the reaction forces ef...
