Analysis of tuned mass damper effect on vibration control over tall building in seismic prone areas – A state-of-art review

Vibrations are one of the main environmental elements that influence buildings and mechanical structures, potentially shortening their lifespan. Taller, lighter, more flexible structures are required by current trends in the construction sector, yet they have relatively low damping values. This raises the likelihood of failure and causes issues with serviceability. If the frequency of excitation coincides with one of the inherent frequencies of the system, many building structures and bridges will collapse due to vibration. Today, a variety of techniques are available to reduce a structure's vibrations. One of these is the idea of using a tuned mass damper, which has become popular recently. In this paper a study has been investigated which is on the behaviour of tall building when it is equipped with Tuned Mass Damper. It is observed that buildings with Tuned Mass Damper are more resistant to seismic vibrations compared to the buildings without Tuned Mass Dampers
