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

The dynamic responses of tall civil structures due to earthquakes are very important to the civil engineer. These dynamic responses can produce situations that can range from uncomfortable to unsafe for the building occupants. In recent years classical control theory has been used in civil engineeri
## Abstract For almost a decade, a 66βstorey, 280m tall building in Singapore has been instrumented to monitor its dynamic responses to wind and seismic excitations. The dynamic characteristics of the tall building have been investigated via both the finite element method and the experimental modal
