On the damping of wind-induced vibration in tall buildings

Needless to say that the use of tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) in damping wind-induced vibration is indispensable in controlling the effect of fatigue stresses caused by repeated excitation loads. The serviceability of high-rise buildings and steel towers constitutes another important application of TLDs to suppress building acceleration and achieve comfort and healthy conditions. This paper presents a new numerical model developed to investigate …
