Abstract

The earthquake is natural disaster which is unpredictable and uncontrollable. The structures cannot be earthquake proof but can be earthquake resistant. The tuned mass dampers are very much effective for the wind loads and harmonic loading in the structures. The fundamental mode can effectively be controlled by tuning the frequency of the tuned mass damper with the modal frequency of the structure. In this study the structure with tuned mass dampers are subjected to harmonic loading using shake and the behavior is observed. It is observed that the tuned mass damper effectively reduces the deformation of the structure by increasing the damping and tuning of frequency of that mode.
