Effectiveness of dynamic vibration absorbers implemented in tall buildings

In recent decades, dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs), such as tuned sloshing dampers (TSDs) and tuned mass dampers (TMDs) have been increasingly used to enhance the serviceability performance of tall buildings subjected to wind excitation. While the fundamental theory of ideal structure-DVA systems is well developed, there is a lack of available literature documenting the performance of DVA systems that have been installed in tall buildings. …
