Abstract: This study focuses on the modeling of tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) with triangular-bottom, sloped-bottom, parabolic-bottom, and flat-bottom tanks using the linear long wave theory. The energy ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model to describe the behavior of sloshing in a general tank with a uniform fluid depth. An equivalent linearized mechanical model is developed for a tuned liquid damper ...

Abstract: In traditional tuned liquid damper (TLD) installations, TLD tank(s) are tuned to a single optimal frequency as determined by well-known dynamic vibration absorber theory. A multiple tuned liquid damper (MTLD) is created ...

Abstract: The tuned liquid damper (TLD) is increasingly being used as an economical and effective dynamic vibration absorber to mitigate the dynamic response of structures. The ability to design a TLD to operate in two directions ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of unidirectional and bidirectional tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) under random excitation. The performance of the tuned liquid dampers is measured in terms of efficiency and robustness. ...

Abstract: At present, the deterministic approach to blast-resistant design appears to be the prevalent philosophy in practice, as suggested by the notion of design-basis threat (DBT) outlined by the ASCE/SEI 59-11. In this study, ...

Abstract: Probabilistic risk assessment methodologies are typically employed to optimize resource allocations for blast risk mitigation schemes, which may be necessary for the design of new blast resistant facilities as well as the ...
