A Parametric Study on Response Control of Building Using Tuned Liquid Damper

Department of Civil Engineering, Haldia Institute of Technology, Haldia

The performance of Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD) to mitigate the seismic vibration of structures under different real earthquake time history is investigated in the present study. The effectiveness of a tuned liquid damper (TLD) is demonstrated in this paper. TLD structural vibration can be used in the construction of damp structures. A tuned liquid damper is water contained in a container, usually placed on top of a building that uses the water's sloshing power to reduce the system's dynamic response to stress.Tuning is the frequency of TLD to the fundamental frequency of structure will result in a large amount of energy dissipation. Most of the researches have studied using TLD on controlling the response of structures under wind loads. Herein, a MDOF system is analysed for determining the displacement of the structure using Newmark Beta method with the help of MATLAB coding, considering a standard model of single tuned liquid damper.
