| Abstract: |
The steel deck design of the series of bridges within the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge results in natural frequencies requiring additional damping measures by Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs). At the hand of the specified structural data, the authors explain the technical solution for the applied Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) and highlight their benefits. Such TMD protection systems not only ensure structural safety combined with durability, but also presenting potential commercial relevance, as they may reduce the total construction costs compared to stiffening measures. |
