Influence of soil‐structure interaction on performance of a super tall building using a new eddy‐current tuned mass damper

Abstract

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) can be used as vibration control devices to improve the vibration performance of high-rise buildings. The Shanghai Tower (SHT) is a 632-m high landmark building in China, featuring a new eddy-current TMD. Special protective mechanisms have been adopted to prevent excessively large amplitude of the TMD under extreme wind or earthquake loading scenarios. This paper presents a methodology for simulating behavior of the new eddy-current TMD that features displacementdependent damping behavior. The TMD model was built into the SHT finite element model to perform frequency analysis and detailed response analyses under wind and earthquake loads. Furthermore, soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects on wind and seismic load responses of the SHT model were investigated, as SSI has a significant impact on the vibration performance of high-rise buildings. It was found that SSI has more significant effects on acceleration response for wind loads with a short return period than for wind loads with a long return period. Some of the acceleration responses with SSI effects exceed design limits of human comfort for wind loads with shorter return periods. As to the seismic analyses, it was found that SSI slightly reduces the displacement amplitude, the damping force, and the impact force of the TMD.

On the Vibration Attenuation Properties of Metamaterial Design Using Negative Stiffness Elements

“…This behavior can be calculated analytically via Eqn. (1) and forms a function of the geometrical and stiffness parameters of the system.…”

“…The mitigation of structural vibration has been frequently treated via use of passive linear devices. Many of the well established practices for this purpose include the concept of tuned mass dampers [1]. Although passive linear systems have proven potential in vibration mitigation, their effectiveness is limited within a narrow range of frequencies, while unfavourable results (e.g.…”

Seismic behavior of MSCSS based on story drift and failure path

“…Another strategy is to adopt energyabsorbing systems on buildings to dissipate seismic energy. The tuned mass damper (TMD) system is one of the most widely used systems that has been applied to many actual structures (Sadek et al 1997;Li et al 2011;Soto and Adeli 2013;Elias and Matsagar 2017;Espinoza et al 2018aEspinoza et al , 2018bZhou et al 2018;Chen et al 2019;Zhang 2019;Snamina and Orkisz 2021).…”

Improving the wind‐induced human comfort of the Beijing Olympic Tower by a double‐stage pendulum tuned mass damper

“…With the development in the past 4 decades, the TMD has been successfully installed on practical buildings to mitigate dynamic responses including pedestrian‐induced vibration, wind‐induced vibration, and earthquake‐induced vibration . Researches and applications show that the TMD in the high‐rise tower can suppress the wind‐induced vibration significantly, such as John Hancock Tower in Boston, Taipei 101 Tower, Shanghai Tower, and many others . Most of these cases are a TMD on a single‐tower building, but most recently some complicated buildings with two or more towers have been constructed out of their architecture benefits.…”
