Tuned mass dampers for response control of torsional buildings.

This paper presents an approach for optimum design of tuned mass dampers for response control of torsional building systems subjected to bi-directional seismic inputs. Four dampers with fourteen distinct design parameters, installed in pairs along two orthogonal directions, are optimally designed. A...
