| Abstrait: |
The following paper introduces the practical application of Tuned Mass Control Systems (TMCS) for earthquake protection. Optimization approaches for these passive control systems will be discussed as well as practical considerations regarding the resulting specification of the TMCS such as stiffness loss during an earthquake and wide-band effectiveness. For the discussion, theoretical approaches will be introduced and results of additional numerical calculations will be presented to verify the reduction due to the control systems. The contribution also introduces the practical application of TMCS at an elevated bridge structure and presents design solutions for these systems. |
