INVESTIGATION OF TMD AND TLD PERFORMANCEUNDER EARTHQUAKE EXCITATION, THE CASE OF22-STORY RESIDENTAL BUILDING

Earthquake is a phenomenon that has caused many financial damages and fatalities. Researchers have always tried to decrease the destructive effects of this phenomenon and have presented methods to control structure vulnerability during an earthquake. Passive energy dissipation (PED) devices are a group of structural protective systems which are widely accepted by the engineering community. The basic function of these devices when added to a structure is to absorb a portion of input energy due to earthquake or other dynamic excitations and, as a result, reducing energy dissipation demand on primary structural members. Tuned dampers are a group of passive control systems, which their applications in vibration control of 22- DOF building under seismic excitation is investiagated with the Matlab/Simulink toolbox.
