Abstract:Today, high-rise steel-frame structures are widely used in high-rise building design. To improve the seismic performance of high-rise steel-frame buildings under earthquake action, we installed a tuned mass damper on the top of a high-rise steel-frame building structure. By considering several factors, i.e., the building space requirements, the prevention of concentrated load, and the improvement of control, we obtained the optimal stiffness and damping coefficient by setting the tuned mass damper to obtain the extreme equivalent damping ratio of the controlled structure. Then, we determined the modal mass by modal analysis of the obtained results using finite element software and achieved reduction control of the torsional vibration of the high-rise steel-frame building. The experimental results show that by using the proposed method, the peak values of angular displacement and acceleration at the top floor of building structures can be reduced by 50% and 30%, respectively, and the response of the building structure can be decreased by 19-26%, which indicates that this method can improve the stability of the high-rise building structures.
