| Abstrakt: |
The following paper introduces the application of large scale Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) on high rise buildings to increase the buildings structural damping. Therefore the TMD effect and the practical handling of the optimum TMD specification are briefly described. Construction principles and the achievement and testing of the required specifications, as well as the experimental verification of the TMDs effectiveness - measuring the buildings ambient vibrations and using several methods to determine the structural damping – will be portrayed. Finally an example project for a successful and demanding application of a TMD will be introduced. |
