Preliminary design of a tmd with a liquid-based damping system for building motion control in wind

Supplementary Damping Systems (SDS), such as tuned mass dampers (TMDs), tuned sloshing dampers (TSDs)- A lso known as tuned liquid dampers (TLDs)- A nd tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs) have been successfully employed to reduce building motion during wind events by dissipating the vibrational energy of the building. A TMD generally consists of a mass, a stiffness system and a damping system (traditionally linear or nonlinear dashpots) that …
