## Abstract Passive and semiβactive tuned mass damper (PTMD and SATMD) building systems are proposed to mitigate structural response due to seismic loads. The structure's upper portion self plays a role either as a tuned mass passive damper or a semiβactive resetable device is adopted as a control

The optimum parameters of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) for suppressing the dynamic response of a base-excited structure in a specific mode is investigated. The base excitation is modelled as a stationary white noise random process. The stationary response of the structure with MTMD is analyzed
Optimum parameters of Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers (MTMD) for an undamped system to harmonic base excitation are investigated using a numerical searching technique. The criteria selected for the optimality is the minimization of steady-state displacement response of the main system. The explicit form
A semi-active tuned mass damper (TMD) which is capable of adjusting initial displacement and damping is applied to seismic protection of structures. Control algorithms are derived in closed forms using perturbation analysis on modal properties of the sinigle degree of freedom (SDOF) structure/TMD sy
In this paper, Hamilton's principle and "nite element method are employed to formulate the new dynamic equation of a tall building subjected to earthquake excitations. A tuned-mass-damper (TMD) system is installed at the top to absorb the earthquakeinduced vibrations. First, the non-linear governing
## Abstract This paper presents an application of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) with nonβlinear damping devices to suppress manβinduced vibrations of a 34m long pedestrian bridge. The damping force generated by each of these damping devices is simply a drag force from liquid acting on an imme
