The identified MTMD parameters were used for the control of a target building through numerical simulation to evaluate its control performance. Introduction Vibration control of structures using supplemental devices against natural and man-made excitations has been a topic of interest in civil engineering in recent decades. Among those devices, tuned mass damper (TMD) is one kind of passive-type devices and can be incorporated into an existing structure with less interference compared with others. The design concept and procedure for tuned mass dampers (TMDs) have been extensively investigated through numerical simulation analyses and experimental tests. Sophisticated three-dimensional building models were developed to examine the optimum installation location in elevation and in plane, number and movement direction of the TMDs with the consideration of translation-torsion coupling and soil-structure interaction effects. Analytical and empirical formulas were also derived to determine the optimal parameters of TMD [1]. Since 1975, TMDs have been successfully installed in high-rise buildings, observatory towers, 1 Distinguished Professor, 2 Post-Doctoral Research Fellow,. 3 Graduate student, Department of Civil Engineering, National Chung Hsing University, 25 Kuo-Kuang Road, Taichung 4227, Taiwan.
3 building floors, and pedestrian bridges. All of these applications showed that TMDs can considerably reduce structural vibrations. However, a TMD could face some drawbacks in seismic applications, such as large stroke and detuning problem, due to large earthquake forces. To solve the detuning problem, multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) composed of multiple units of TMD were proposed [2]. Through numerous studies [3-15] in recent years, various design theories and control procedure of an MTMD system were developed. It is generally recognized that TMD s performance relies on its large stroke which may not be allowed due to the limitations of moving space and system components. In 21, a novel MTMD s design theory with the consideration of stroke limitation was proposed by Lin et al. [16, 17]. A series of shaking table tests were also conducted to verify the control effectiveness of a five-unit MTMD device for a large-scale three-story benchmark building at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taiwan. In recent decade, lots of high-rise buildings have been implemented with TMD control devices. To control such a long period structure, a TMD system with long stroke is required. In this study, an MTMD system with long stroke has been developed for vibration control of high-rise buildings. A sliding typed MTMD system composed of three units of TMD arranged in parallel was fabricated. A series of shaking table tests were conducted to verify the dynamic properties of the MTMD system. Test items include the identifications of frequency of each TMD unit and friction coefficient (or equivalent damping ratio), noise during MTMD movement and fail/safe lock mechanism. The identified MTMD parameters were used for the control of a target building through numerical simulation to evaluate its control performance. Design and Fabrication of a Long Stroke MTMD Optimal MTMD s Parameters for the Target Building A symmetric building is selected as the target building, which is a 38-story building located in Taipei, Taiwan. Based on the design drawings of the target building, the commercial finite element program ETABS was employed to calculate modal parameters of the target building, as shown in Table 1. The fundamental period of the target building is 3.64 second along the Y (weak) direction. According to the dynamic properties of the target building, a three-unit MTMD system with total weight of 5 tonf is designed to control the vibration in weak direction. Table 2 shows the optimal MTMD s parameters obtained by using the optimal design method. The mass ratio of the MTMD system is.144% to the total weight of the building. Each MTMD s unit has identical stiffness coefficient and damping coefficient to save the construction cost. The frequency of each TMD unit is.26 Hz,.27 Hz, and.28 Hz, respectively. The fundamental modal damping ratio of the target building can be increased from 1.% to 2.65 %, by using the MTMD as shown in Table 1. Fabrication of Scale-down MTMD System To control a long period target building needs to use a TMD system with long stroke. In this study, the stroke of each MTMD unit is designed as 5cm. Because of both limitations of budget and test facility, the total weight of the MTMD system is reduced to be 5 kgf (1/1 scaled
4 down), as shown in Table 3. Fig. 1 shows the schematic diagram of the MTMD system consisting of three TMD units. Each TMD unit is composed of a mass block and two precompression springs, as shown in Fig. 2. A steel tube passes through the springs to prevent them from buckling. The mass block is rested on a linear guide rail system, which consists of four sliding blocks and two guide rails, as shown in Fig. 3. Friction between the sliding blocks and guide rails provides damping of each TMD unit. Because of the existence of the springs, each TMD unit has a constant tuning frequency. Two shock absorbers and rubber buffers are provided at both sides to prevent damage of the TMD unit, as shown in Fig. 4. Moreover, a fail/safe system consists of two hooks and one rod is designed to lock the TMD unit for allo of the unexpected severe excitations. The hook mounted at the location of maxima stroke while the rod mounted at the mass block, as shown in Fig.5. When TMD s stroke exceeds its limit (5cm), the mass block will be locked for safety. Fig. 6 shows the completely fabricated MTMD system. Table 1.

Shaking Table Tests Test Setup and Test Items In order to evaluate the dynamic properties of the MTMD system experimentally, seismic responses of the prototype MTMD was investigated through a series of shaking table tests. Fig. 7 depicts the test setup and the sensor placement of the shaking table test. As shown in the figure, one velocity sensor and one accelerometer were placed upon both the shaking table and each TMD unit. In addition, a LVDT was also used to measure the stroke of each TMD unit. Test
6 items include: (1) harmonic test, (2) seismic excitation test, (3) test of fail/safe lock mechanism, and (4) noise test. Results of Harmonic Test Due to manufacturing error, the stiffness of each spring is not ideally identical. Therefore, the real frequency of each TMD unit should be calibrated. To make sure the frequency of each TMD unit agrees with the designed value, a cyclic test (excitation amplitude = 7mm, frequency = Hz) has been conducted firstly. By adjusting the mass of each TMD unit, the tuning frequency can be changed. Table 4 lists the results of harmonic test. The peak stroke appears when the excitation frequency is closed to the frequency of each TMD unit. It is found that the frequency of MTMD#1 to MTMD#3 equals to.26hz,.27hz, and.28hz, respectively. Figure 7. Setup of shaking table test. Test of Fail/Safe Lock Mechanism A fail/safe system is designed to lock the TMD unit for safety during a severe excitation. The fail/safe test is adopted via a harmonic excitation (amplitude = 9mm, frequency =.27 Hz). Fig. 8 shows the stroke and acceleration responses of the MTMD#3. It is seen that the MTMD#3 is locked by the device after 31 second of the excitation. After this moment, the TMD s stroke reaches 5cm and its acceleration equals to the excitation. It proves that the fail/safe device works well. 1 Stroke (MTMD #3) Absolute acc. (MTMD #3).5 (31sec,.5m) lock stop 2 1 (31sec) lock stop Stroke (m) Acc.

7 Test of Movement Noise Since the target building is a residential building, noise induced by the movement of MTMD system should be considered to assure the living quality of the building. The movement noise mainly results from the friction of the guide rail system and the friction between the spring and steel tube. The noise at different distances was measured as given in Table 5. Compared with the background noise, it shows that the movement noise level of the MTMD system is small and acceptable. Table 4. Results of harmonic test. Table 5. Results of movement noise test. Sine MTMD#1 MTMD#2 MTMD#3 Hz Max. stroke (mm) Distance db (w/o movement) db (w/ movement) 1m m m Comparison of and Harmonic and Seismic Responses In order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment, the test data was compared with the theoretical results simulated by using a Coulomb-friction model [18-2], as shown in Fig. 9. The simulated acceleration signals measured at the shaking table are regarded as the input ground excitations. Table 6 lists the identified system parameters of the MTMD system. It is noted that the total weight of the MTMD is 591. kg, which is larger than the design value due to manufacturing error of the springs. Fig. 1 compares the experimental with simulated responses of the MTMD system subjected to 194 El Centro earthquake excitation (PGA = 4gal). It must be pointed out that the total shear force S k (t) of the k-th TMD unit shown in these figures are reconstructed from the test data. The computation of shear force S k (t) and friction force F k (t) is explained below. Since each TMD unit is a rigid mass block, from the dynamic equilibrium equation, the total shear force S k (t) of each TMD unit can be written as S ( t) = F ( t) + k v ( t) = m v&, ( t) (1) k k where & ( ) and F k (t) denote the absolute acceleration and indicates the friction force of the k- v&, a t th TMD unit, respectively. Since & ( ) and v (t) are measured and available, F k (t) can be computed by the following equation v&, a t a F ( t) = k v ( t) m v&, ( t) (2) k a
8 In addition, the friction force F k (t) of the TMD unit can be further written as F ( t) = sgn( v& ( t)) m g (3) k µ k where the function sgn( v& ( t)) denotes the sign of v& (t). Then, the friction coefficient µ k can be estimated by Eq. (2) and Eq. (3). From Fig 1, the following observations can be made: (1) generally speaking, regardless of type of excitations, the MTMD dynamic behaviors predicted by the theoretical model are all very good agreement with the measured data This indicates that the test data are reliable and the MTMD dynamic responses can be obtained by the proposed analytical methods. (2) Due to the complicated friction behavior as well as measurement noise, the experimental and theoretical hysteresis loops of the TMD unit have a relatively large but acceptable discrepancy (see Fig 1(c)), as compared to the other system responses. In addition, this discrepancy does not affect the responses of the MTMD, because both the stroke and acceleration responses predicted by the theoretical model match well with the experimental ones. Fig. 11 compares the peak stroke of each TMD unit for different level of PGAs. The results reveal that the dynamic behavior of the MTMD system is predictable by the Coulomb-friction model. Table 6. Identified parameters of the MTMD system. MTMD#1 MTMD#2 MTMD#3 Weight (kgf) Frequency (Hz) Friction coefficient Figure 9. Coulomb-friction model. In order to verify the control efficiency of the MTMD system, the dynamic behaviors of target building with and without the MTMD system are simulated via critical parameters that identified from the shaking table test. For simplicity, a linearization is applied to calculate the equivalent viscous damping ratio of each TMD unit. It is noted that: (1) the friction coefficient of the fullscale MTMD system remains.16, which is a reasonable value for a TMD unit supported by a linear guide-rail system; (2) to tune the frequency of each TMD unit correctly, total mass ratio of the MTMD system is larger than that of the design value due to manufacturing error of the springs. Because of this reason, the equivalent damping ratio of the target building equipped with the MTMD system based on the experimental parameters is 2.73%, which is larger than the desired value of 2.65%. Fig. 12 compares the control performance of MTMD systems based on the designed and experimental parameters. The experimental MTMD system performs better than that as desired.

Conclusions A long-stroke MTMD system composed of three TMD units has been designed and fabricated in this study to reduce the vibration of a high-rise building. The dynamic properties of the MTMD system are verified experimentally by shaking table tests. The test items include frequency of each MTMD unit and friction coefficient (or equivalent damping ratio), noise during MTMD movement and fail/safe lock mechanism. The dynamic behaviors of the prototype MTMD system were also simulated and verified by the developed theoretical model. The shaking table test results demonstrate that experimental results agree well with the theoretical results, which indicate the dynamic behavior of the MTMD system is predictable. In addition, the fail/safe device works well when the stroke exceeds its limit while the noise test shows the movement noise of the MTMD system is acceptable. Finally, the identified MTMD parameters were used for the vibration control of the target building. The results of numerical simulation show that the control performance of the MTMD system performs well as desired.
