Inelastic buildings with tuned mass dampers under moderate ground motions from distant earthquakes.

Inelastic buildings with tuned mass dampers under moderate ground motions from distant earthquakes.

The effectiveness of tuned mass dampers (TMD) in vibration control of buildings was investigated under moderate ground shaking caused by long distance earthquakes with frequency contents resembling the 1985 Mexico City (SCT) or the 1995 Bangkok ground motion. The elastic perfectly plastic material b...
