“…As is well known, the MTMD with distributed natural frequencies were proposed by [Xu and Igusa 1992] and also investigated by many investigators such as [Yamaguchi and Harnpornchai 1993;Abe and Fujino 1994;Igusa and Xu 1994;Kareem and Kline 1995;Jangid 1995;Li 2000;Park and Reed 2001;Gu et al 2001;Chen and Wu 2003;Kwon and Park 2004;Yau and Yang 2004;Hoang and Warnitchai 2005;Wang and Lin 2005;Lee et al 2006]. The MTMD is confirmed to be capable of rendering better effectiveness and higher robustness in the mitigation of the oscillations of structures in comparison with a single TMD.…”

Lever-type active multiple tuned mass dampers (LT-AMTMD) consisting of several lever-type active tuned mass damper (LT-ATMD) units with a uniform distribution of natural frequencies have been proposed here for the vibration control of long-span bridges under the excitation directly acting on the structure, rather than through the base. The main purpose of selecting this form of excitation is to present guidelines for the buffeting control design of long-span bridges under wind loads. Estimations have been made on the performance of the LT-AMTMD with identical stiffness and damping coefficient and unequal masses for the reduction of harmonically forced vibrations by resorting to the defined evaluation criteria. The LT-AMTMD with the actuator set at the mass block is found to have better effectiveness and higher robustness in alleviating the vibrations of structures in comparison with the LT-AMTMD with the actuator set at any other location. A new major result is that both the spring static and dynamic stretching of the LT-AMTMD with the actuator set at the mass block may be freely adjusted in accordance with the practical requirements by changing the support locations within the viable range while practically maintaining the same performance. Numerical results demonstrate that the LT-AMTMD with the actuator set at the mass block can highly improve the performance of the LT-MTMD (that is, the passive counterpart of the LT-AMTMD) and provide better effectiveness than a single LT-ATMD. Estimations have also been simultaneously carried out on the LT-AMTMD (a single LT-ATMD) with respect to the hanging-type AMTMD (a single hanging-type ATMD) as well as on the LT-MTMD (a single LT-TMD) with reference to the hanging-type MTMD (a single hanging-type TMD), so as to highlight the improved performance of the proposed control system.

“…There are main two disadvantages points of the force control method compared to displacement control method; the first disadvantage point in force control method is the difficulty to refine the force vector increment at each step of the increment analysis after inelasticity develops in the structure. The Second disadvantage point, possibility of reaching to the maximum lateral force and stop the analysis iteration prior to developing the ultimate displacement, [14] and [15].…”

A three dimensional finite element of nonlinear pushover analysis for short span Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridge with circular piers cross section is modeling to present effects of soil structural interaction (SSI). Structural elements models are including linear foundation springs modeling, and nonlinear RC piers modeling. The paper succeeded to present the SSI effects of nonlinear pushover analysis of short spans RC bridges to determine the significant effects on dynamic characteristics and displacement capacity of short span RC bridges performance; that is increasing within range 11% to 20% compared to baseline pushover analysis of bridge without SSI effects. Results show the bridge stiffness decreases due to SSI effects on the bridge support for more flexible soils types that generates large displacement, with corresponding less base shear in bridge piers and footings by average percentage 12% and 18%, which is important for structural evaluation for new bridge construction and also, for strengthening and repair works evaluation of existing bridges.
