Abstract


This study focuses on the performance analysis of optimum tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) under the different live loads of three different structure models, designed as both single and multi-story, under earthquake excitations. For this purpose, single, ten, and forty story structure models have been created and tuned liquid damping devices that contain liquids of different densities and viscosities such as acetone, mercury, and seawater are placed on the structure. For the analysis conducted under earthquake excitations, optimum damping device parameters were previously obtained with the Adaptive Harmony Search Algorithm (AHS), and minimizing the movement of the structure was aimed. The effect of the damping device on the control performance was investigated under increasing and decreasing live loads for the uncertain mass of the structure because of variable actions. When the results are examined, it has been determined that the increase in the story number of the structure will less affect the displacement reduction performance of TLDs for the structure under uncertain variable loading.
