It was shown from the test that the new TMD quake reduction system can reduce the acceleration of the top floor by more than one quarter if the parameters are chosen efficiently.Since the good effectiveness and easy availability, this system has the practical value in earth quake engineering.展开更多

This is a new type of TMD system-suspended structure. To test the function of quake-reduction and the possibility of application, this paper explores the suspended top floor through shaking table test. In the model test, an electro-hydraulic shaking table was used. The main structure model was a four-story steel frame structure. The block to combat the structural quake was a concrete block. LRB was used to connect the block to the main structure. In order to analyze the efficiency of TMD, the fundamental frequencies of the main structure and block of TMD were measured separately first. Then. the frequencies of the main structure with the block and without the block were compared respectively under sine and imitative quake waves. The test shows that this new-typeTMD system is effective in combating the structural quake often reducing the acceleration of the top floor by more than 25 %. Because of the easy availability of the method, it is endowed with practical feasibility.展开更多

The basic working principle of the DTLDs is to fill the empty space inside the pipes or boxes of cast-in-situ hollow reinforced concrete （RC） floor slabs with water or other liquid. The pipes or boxes then work as a series of small TLDs inside the structure, to increase the damping ratio of the entire structural system. Numerical simulation that accounts for the fluid- structure conpling effect is carried out to evaluate the vibration-reduction efficiency of the DTLDs. The results show that the DTLDs are able to considerably increase the damping of the structure and thus reduce its vibration. An additional benefit is that the DTLDs do not require architectural space to be added to the structure.展开更多
