Multimode Vibration Control using Perimeter Concrete Wall Dampers under Excitation
This study focus on Perimeter Concrete Wall Dampers (PCWD). PCWD can achieve required large mass ratio without additional mass. This system also can control multimode vibration. Suitable location for the installation of PCWD and their tuning frequencies are selected based on modal parameters of the uncontrolled structure respectively. In addition to the numerical simulation, an eleven story is modeled using SAP2000. The proposed system is greatly reducing seismic response of main structure.
