In this paper, a tuned mass damper is applied to improve the seismic performance of the lighting tower. The light tower has a high slenderness ratio, low lateral stiffness and top mass is large structure so this has weak for vibration characteristics. The optimized damping coefficient and stiffness were applied to the four lighting tower models analyzed. As a result, the light tower with TMD showed a tendency to reduce the displacement response significantly against the earthquake.

In this study, as a part of the BCP (Business Continuous Plan), the performance tests of the rocking wall and the steel damper were carried out. The rocking wall was made of concrete block. The concrete block was connected to the floor by two hinges. However, in the performance test, the hinge part was destroyed and the experiment was finished. This will be due to the fact that the hinge has not rotated, and will be retested after reinforcement of the concrete block.

This paper presents the seismic performance of the steel damper under reversed cyclic loading. The U-shaped steel damper used in this study was designed to have energy dissipation zone with an external diameter of 120 mm, a width of 15 mm, and a thickness of 15 mm. The cyclic loading test was carried out using an uniaxial universal testing machine with a capacity of 2,000 kN. The test results indicated that no strength deterioration of the specimen was found as well as the equivalent damping ratio of the specimen was excellent.

The failure of piping in nuclear power plants and various plant facilities is mainly caused by vibration due to fluid pressure, dead load, temperature expansion and earthquake load in the pipe. Repeated stresses due to vibration cause local fatigue failure on pipe joints where stress is concentrated, which is a factor that hinders the safety of the structure. Therefore, the vibration problem is solved by installing devices to solve the vibration problem in the pipe where vibration frequently occurs. In this study, we developed a damper that damps the dynamic load generated by piping using the friction pendulum principle, and analyzed the behavior curve of the MER-Spring specimen to be used.

In this study, it was modelled high-rise building applying outrigger damper system and analyzed by applying eccentric load. By controlling the variation of damping and stiffness of the damper, the seismic response control performance of outrigger damper system was analysed. An outrigger damper system is effective in controlling the top floor displacement response and torsional angle. Therefore, the damper should be selected the proper stiffness value because the variation of stiffness have an influence on the torsional angle.

Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and viscoelastic damper (VED) is a well-known vibration absorbing equipment in the civil engineering realm. Although the dampers are typically used separately, combined use of dampers worth investigation. For that purpose, a numerical model of multi-story building equipped with TMD and VED was developed using finite element software SAP2000.
