Three dimensional analysis of a high-rise building equipped with multiple tuned liquid dampers using wind tunnel loads

A dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) can be used to reduce excessive resonant vibrations to acceptable levels by adding effective damping to a structure. A tuned liquid damper (TLD) is a special type of passive DVA that consists of a rigid tank, which is partially filled with a liquid. The TLD is attached to the building at selected locations. The resulting inertia forces, which develop from the sloshing liquid motion inside the tank, modify the …
