    Seismic-induced vibration control of a multi-story building with double tuned mass dampers considering soil-structure interaction

    Araz, Onur; Elias, Said; Kablan, Feyza

    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.

    Optimization of tuned mass damper inerter for a high-rise building considering soil-structure interaction

    Araz, Onur

    The dynamic responses of the buildings and the optimum parameters of tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) may change significantly when soil-structure interaction (SSI) is considered. Thus, it is necessary to consider the effect of the SSI in the optimization of TMDI. The study aims at proposing a methodology for optimization of TMDI parameters in reducing maximum structural responses of a high-rise building under earthquake considering the SSI effects. The equations of motion for time-domain analysis are derived for obtaining seismic-induced vibrations of a multi-story shear building with TMDI when the SSI is considered. An improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) is used to obtain the optimum parameters. The aim of the optimization is to reduce the amplitude of the acceleration transfer function (ATF). The effectiveness of the optimally designed TMDI is assessed for twelve earthquake records with different frequency contents. The effect of the different mass ratios (µ), inertance ratios (β) and support conditions on control performance of the TMDI are investigated in detail. Numerical results proved that the SSI effect and the inertance ratio have a significant impact on the optimal design and effectiveness of the TMDI. From the seismic analysis results, it is seen that the controlled displacement response usually increases with the increase in the inertia ratio for both the fixed and flexible foundation, and a lower seismic response is obtained in the building controlled by TMD compared with the TMDI with different inertance ratios.

    Optimization of three-element tuned mass damper for single degree of freedom structures under ground acceleration; [Yer ivmesi etkisi altındaki tek serbestlik dereceli yapılar için üç elemanlı ayarlı kütle sönümleyicinin optimizasyonu]

    Araz, Onur

    Passive control devices have been used for a long time to reduce unwanted vibrations. The most commonly used of these devices are tuned mass dampers. The optimum parameters of the three-element tuned mass damper for damped main structures due to ground acceleration are investigated in this paper. Unlike the traditional tuned mass damper, the three-element tuned mass damper contains two spring elements and one of them is connected in series with the damping element. The optimum parameters are obtained by simulated annealing algorithm. Numerical results show that the three-element tuned mass damper is very effective in reducing dynamic vibrations of the damped structures.

    Design of series tuned mass dampers for seismic control of structures using simulated annealing algorithm

    Araz, Onur; Kahya, Volkan

    The effectiveness of the series tuned mass dampers (STMDs) in reducing the dynamic vibrations of the structures under the ground motion is investigated, and their optimum parameters are obtained based on the simulated annealing (SA) optimization. The STMD is one of the most well-known passive control devices which consists of two TMD units arranged in series. However, only a few studies are available on the control performance and optimum parameters of the STMDs for structural systems subjected to ground motion. Thus, the goal of this study is to carry out a thorough optimization analysis based on the SA algorithm for the structures equipped with an STMD under the effect of ground motion. The objective function is selected as the reduction of the displacement response of the structure. It is proved that the optimum STMD has better effectiveness than the optimum TMD in suppressing the maximum story displacement of the structure. Further, the effect of the frequency shift on the effectiveness of the optimally designed STMD is investigated.
