Tuned Mass Dampers in Tall Buildings: A Practical Performance-Based Design Approach

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are increasingly being used to reduce the motion of tall buildings during common wind events. Despite TMDs receiving extensive theoretical research for many decades, dissemination of the practical aspects of designing and installing these devices is severely lacking. Since they are relatively new to the high-rise construction industry, TMD installations may be viewed by design and construction teams as having …
