Abstract: Based on wind‐tunnel measurements of wind‐induced response of tall buildings, a semianalytical method of performing parametric study of tuned mass dampers for tall buildings is proposed. This method was verified through a ...

Abstract: An investigation is made of the possible application of tuned liquid column dampers and tuned liquid column/mass dampers in reducing the along‐wind response of wind‐sensitive structures. The structure is modeled as a lumped ...

Abstract: Contemporary tall buildings with increasing height and slenderness are highly sensitive to the actions of wind. The structural design of modern tall buildings is generally governed by the need to provide adequate strength ...

Abstract: The implementation of a vibration control system has always been associated with considerable capital and long-standing maintenance costs, resulting in limited practical applications of damping devices. The notion of a ...

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of the wind tunnel studies conducted at the boundary layer wind tunnel facility at the University of Sydney to determine across-wind forces acting on the 76-story 306 m high benchmark building. ...

Abstract: A study has been undertaken on the effectiveness of using liquid column vibration absorbers (LCVAs), in the suppression of wind-induced motion of the 76-story benchmark building. Much work has been undertaken on the behavior ...
