Coupled shear‐flexural model for dynamic analysis of fixedbase tall buildings with tuned mass dampers

摘要

An equivalent discrete model is developed for time domain dynamic analysis of uniform high-rise shear wall-frame buildings with fixed base and carrying any number of tuned mass dampers (TMDs). The equivalent model consists of a flexural cantilever beam and a shear cantilever beam connected in parallel by a finite number of axially rigid members that allow the consideration of intermediate modes of lateral deformation. The proposed model was validated by a building whose lateral resisting system consists of a combination of shear walls and braced frames. The results showed the effectiveness of TMDs to reduce the peak displacements, interstory drift ratio, and accelerations when the building is subjected to a seismic load. The root mean square accelerations due to along-wind loads also decrease if TMDs are attached to the building.
