Araz, Onur; Elias, Said
Reducing vibrations occurring in structures under environmental loads makes a significant contribution to the development of structural safety. Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are one of the systems commonly used to control structural vibrations. Since TMD is adjusted according to the dominant frequency of the structure, factors that may cause changes in the frequency of the structure can significantly reduce the effectiveness of TMD. One of the main factors that can cause changes in the frequency values of the structure is the interaction between the structure and the soil. To overcome this situation, it is recommended to apply control systems consisting of multiple TMDs (MTMD) to the main structure instead of a single TMD. MTMD systems are arranged in two different types, serial and parallel. In this paper, a methodology that considers the structure-soil interaction (SSI) is presented for the optimum design of control systems with different configurations placed on a main structure under the influence of ground motion. To research the SSI effects, the TMDs-structure coupled system is supported by rocking and swaying springs and the corresponding dashpots, and then the equations of motions of the structural system are derived. In the optimization process based on particle swarm optimization in the frequency domain, different soil types, configuration types, and mass ratios are considered. The efficiency of optimum TMDs arranged in series and parallel is also evaluated using near and far fault ground motions in the time domain. Numerical results show that if structures are constructed on soils with low shear wave velocities, ignoring SSI can significantly change the design parameters and effectiveness of the control system.

This paper presents a methodology for the optimization of double tuned mass dampers (TMDs) positioned on the top floor of a multi-story building subjected to ground motions considering soil-structure interaction (SSI). In the optimization process, it is considered that double TMDs are connected both in series and in parallel. STMD and PTMD are used to denote the series TMDs and parallel TMDs, respectively. The equations of motion for an n-story shear building controlled by STMD and PTMD are derived by considering the SSI effect and the optimum parameters of both devices are obtained by minimizing the amplitude of the displacement transfer function for the top floor of the building in the frequency domain analysis. The effectiveness of the PTMD and STMD designed using the Jaya algorithm (JA) is verified by numerical examples of a ten-story shear building under twelve earthquake records with different frequency content and the comparison with the traditional TMD is also performed. In order to investigate the effect of earthquake frequency content on the control performance of the TMDs, earthquakes considered are divided into three different groups as low, intermediate, and high-frequency contents. In addition, the influence of the soil stiffness on the optimum parameters and effectiveness of the PTMD and STMD is discussed. Numerical results show that the optimally designed PTMD and STMD effectively suppressed the maximum floor displacements and accelerations of the building. It is also shown that SSI effects can be ignored when the building is built on stiff soil. In addition, it is concluded that the SSI and earthquake frequency content have a significant effect on the control performance of TMDs and the seismic response of the building.
