Analysis of Vibration Control Systems using Water Tank as a Liquid Damper in High Rise Buildings

Current trends in construction industry demands taller and lighter structures, which are also more flexible and having quite low damping value. This increases failure possibilities and also problems from serviceability point of view. Now-a-days several techniques are available to minimize the vibration of the structure, out of the several techniques available for vibration control, concept of using TLD is a newer one. In the present work, the structure without and with tuned liquid damper buildings of G+10, G+20, and G+30 storey height structural models are considered. The vulnerability of without and with tuned liquid damper structures under various load conditions are studied and for the analysis seismic region 3 with different soil types are considered. Analysis is carried out for different heights to study the seismic behavior of structure without and with tuned liquid damper building analysis is for different heights to see what changes going to take place if the height of both structural systems varies. Therefore, the characteristics of the seismic behavior of both structural systems suggests the additional measures for guiding the conception and design of these structures in seismic regions and also to improve the performance of these structural systems under seismic loading. Present work provides a good source of information on the parameters lateral displacement, storey drift, base shear, and time period. The analysis is carried out by E-Tabs software.
