| dc.description.abstract | In the last two decades, structural control concepts have received considerable attention for the design of large civil structures. Particular attention has been paid in Tuned Liquid Damper(TLD) in this thesis. Extensive experiment have been performed. Effectiveness of TLD under harmonic and random excitation has been investigated. TLD damping has been assessed by various ways. Some optimal design parameters has been surveyed. TLD control mechanism has been studied by curve fitting technique in time domain and Laplace domain. Experimental results confirmed that TLD is effective to control the structural vibration when the TLD parameters are properly designed. Interaction of TLD with SDOF model has been simulated. The use of a transfer function to describe the slosh force of the liquid upon the tank motion to simulate the interaction has been proposed. The simulated values compare fairly well with experimental data. Also based on the transfer function method, the interaction of TLD with a building has been simulated. Large reduction in building response to earthquake has been observed. | en |
