Numerical Study of Slat Screen Pattern Effect on Design Parameters of Tuned Liquid Dampers

Tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) are considered economical and effective dynamic vibration absorbers. They are increasingly being used to mitigate the dynamic resonant response of tall buildings and it is often designed to reduce the structure's acceleration at a serviceability limit state. Slat screens can increase the inherent damping factor of TLDs. They have been used as a common flow damping device in TLDs because of the simplicity of using …
