“…Applications of gravitational search algorithms [4], simulated annealing [5] and central force metaheuristic optimization [6] as nature-inspired conceptual frameworks in engineering are presented. Much attention is being paid to vibration control and the health monitoring of buildings and engineering structures [7][8][9][10][11], including bridges [12,13] and high-rise buildings [14][15][16]. A comprehensive review of tuned mass dampers for the vibration control of structures was provided [17].…”

Sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and building technology can be supported by fundamental scientific achievements and multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) theories. The current paper aims at overviewing the state of the art in terms of published papers related to theoretical methods that are applied to support sustainable evaluation and selection processes in civil engineering. The review is limited solely to papers referred to in the Clarivate Analytic Web of Science core collection database. As the focus is on multiple-criteria decision-making, it aims at reviewing how the papers on MCDM developments and applications have been distributed by period of publishing, by author countries and institutions, and by journals. Detailed analysis of 2015-2017 journal articles from two Web of Science categories (engineering civil and construction building technology) is presented. The articles are grouped by research domains, problems analyzed and the decision-making approaches used. The findings of the current review paper show that MCDM applications have been constantly growing and particularly increased in the last three years, confirming the great potential and prospects of applying MCDM methods for sustainable decision-making in civil engineering, construction and building technology.

“…Not only the use of TMDs has proved to be successful in high‐rise buildings, other examples of the use of TMDs and multiple tuned mass damper (MTMD) include the study of monopile offshore wind turbine tower under wind‐wave excitations and seismic excitations and lightly damped pedestrian bridges . Although extensive literature is available regarding the use of TMDs to reduce the response of different types of structures, the report of the use of TMDs to mitigate the response of monuments under wind and seismic loading is scarce . In Howell et al, information about the structural design of the tallest slender monument (statue) in the world is reported and details about the treatment of gravity and wind and seismic loads are discussed.…”

Summary Passive energy dissipation devices have been used around the world to mitigate the response of structures under dynamic excitations, such as wind or seismic loading. The use of tuned mass dampers (TMD) in tall and slender buildings to reduce unwanted responses has proved to be very effective. The main purpose of this work is to study the structural behavior of a 115‐m‐height slender monument fitted with TMDs subjected to simulated wind and seismic loading. Turbulent wind forces were calculated based on samples of turbulent wind speed simulated with an auto regressive and moving average (ARMA) model. Ground motions compatible with a seismic site spectrum were also simulated. An optimization approach is suggested to determine the parameters of the TMDs that reduce the structural response to the maximum. The effectiveness of the TMDs for reducing the structural response of the monument is discussed in detail, and the use of optimally tuned TMDs is emphasized.

“…Widespread applications of tuned mass damper (TMD) could be found in the fields of mechanical and civil engineering, which protects structures against detrimental vibration induced by mechanical sources or natural hazards. Nonexhaustive literature reviews on this subject are available in the previous studies . A classic TMD is of single degree of freedom (SDOF) and is essentially a mass implemented on the primary system via a spring and a viscous damper in parallel connection, which can effectively reduce the vibration of host structure around the target mode.…”

Summary In this paper, two configurations of series double tuned mass damper with inerters (SDTMDI) are investigated: grounded type (G‐SDTMDI) and inserted type (I‐SDTMDI). For the former layout, two inerters relate each tuned mass to the ground, while they are inserted between any two adjacent masses in the latter layout. Implementing on a harmonically forced primary system of single degree of freedom, their optimal design is conducted by using an extended version of fixed points theory. The present study suggests that for a given total tuned mass, the vibration control effect of G‐SDTMDI is solely controlled by the total inertance, because of which one of the two grounded inerters can be removed, and the vibration control performance will not be influenced under the condition that the amount of inertance remains unchanged. Meanwhile, the control effect delivered by I‐SDTMDI is dictated by the inerter relating the primary system and its adjacent tuned mass. Finally, it is analytically and numerically proven that grounded inerters can render the vibration control effect more pronounced, featured by a decreased peak amplitude and an enlarged frequency bandwidth of vibration reduction. The only potential detrimental effect observed is by incorporating an inerter between the host structure and its adjacent tuned mass. In this case, the vibration amplitude of host structure is amplified, and the effective plateau of vibration reduction is narrowed.
