| Abstract: |
At the hand of 3 slender structures, the authors propose required characteristics of an optimum protection system with Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) from wind and earthquake and highlight their benefits. Such protection systems consisting on TMDs do not only ensure structural safety, but might also be of commercial relevance, as they may reduce the total construction costs. |
