Abstract

The main focus of this paper is to minimize the
response induced from seismic excitation using Tuned Liquid
Damper (TLD) modified with rubber mesh. An over-head water
tank was used as passive damper. A prototype structure with 20
inch by 20 inch steel plate slab and 6 ft height was constructed as
a two storied prototype structural model to perform shake table
experiment. Time history of El-Centro earthquake was applied as
input ground motion using shake table. Different cases of rubber
mesh with different water height were studied. From the
uncontrolled and controlled data, it was found that in almost
every case displacement decreases. Optimal water depth of
rubber mesh was suggested on which displacement decreases
most. From the results, it was concluded that the TLD modified
with rubber mesh is very effective and efficient way to reduce
structural vibration.
