A large scale hybrid mass damper (HMD) system was developed to reduce building response during strong winds and earthquakes of up to medium strength. The HMD consists of an auxiliary mass supported by multi-stage rubber bearings and actuators driven by C servomotors. Two HMDs were installed on the t...
