본 논문은 건물의 형태와 동적특성을 변화시키지 않고 건물에 부가질량을 설치하여 건물의 진동을 제어하는 방법중 수동형 제진장치인 TLD(tuned liquid damper)와 MTLD(multiple tuned liquid damper)의 진동응답을 감소시키기 위해 진동대를 이용한 성능실험을 실시하였다. 따라서 기존의 형태별(원형, 직사각형) TLD 실험의 실험 데이터를 가지고 가진 진폭(1mm, 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, 20mm) 의 변화에 따른 고유진동수(0.44Hz, 0.55Hz)에 대한 MTLD의 형태별 실험을 통하여 TLD와 MTLD의 진동감소효과에 대한 성능실험을 비교 분석 하였다.

Excessive acceleration experienced at the top floors in a building during wind storms affect the serviceability of the building with respect to occupant comfort and discomfort. Tuned liquid damper (TLD) and multiple tuned liquid damper (MTLD), which are passive control devices consisting of a rigid tank filled with liquid, are used to suppress vibration of structures. These TLD and MTLD offer several potential advantages-low costs, easy installation in existing structures and effectiveness even for small-amplitude vibrations. This study carries out a theoretical estimation of the most effective damping ratios that can be achieved by TLD and MTLD. Damping by TLD an MTLD reduced the frequency response of high-rise buildings by approximately 40% in urban and suburban areas.

Serviceability of buildings is affect by excessive acceleration experienced at the top floors in wind storms that may cause discomfort to the occupants. Tuned liquid damper(TLD) and multiple tuned liquid damper(MTLD) are passive control devices that consists of rigid tank filled with liquid to suppress the vibration of structures. This TLD and MTLD are attributable to several potential advantages - low costs; easy to install in existing structures; effective even for small-amplitude vibrations. In this paper, the behavior of TLD and MTLD are investigated analytically and wind tunnel test of high-frequency force balance.

설치의 용이성과 경제성, 여러 다른 용도로의 전용 가능성, 유지보수의 용이성, 그리고 재동조의 편의성 등을 고려할 때 TLCD (Tuned Liquid Column Damper)는 기존에 건물의 응답제어에 많이 사용되는 TMD를 대체할 수 있는 감쇠장치라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 TMD (Tuned Mass Damper)와 TLCD의 지진하중을 받는 구조물의 응답제어 성능평가에 관한 비교연구를 수행하였다. 성능비교분석 결과, 층간변위 제어성능에서는 TLCD가 TMD보다 우수한 성능을 보였고 가속도 제어성능에서는 서로 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 층간변위 제어에서는 저층에서 큰 제어성능을 발휘하고, 절대가속도 제어에서는 상층부에서 성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 TLCD가 지진에 가장 문제가 되는 구조물의 안전성 및 거주자의 사용성에 있어서 효율적인 감쇠기라 할 수 있는 근거가 된다.

This paper presents the parameter study of multiple tuned liquid damper (MTLCD) applied to the 76-story benchmark building. A parameter study involves the effects of number of TLCD, frequency range, and central tuning frequency ratio, which are important parameters of MTLCD. The performance of MTLCD is carried out numerical analysis which reflects the nonlinear property of liquid motion. The parameters of TLCD exist different each optimal values according to mass ratio. The performance of single-TLCD (STLCD) is sensitive for tuning frequency ratio. Therefore, MTLCD is proposed to protect such the shortcoming of STLCD. The result of numerical analysis presents improved performance for robustness of MTLCD

This manuscript introduces a new damping device which is composed of a water tank and a pendulum. The new damping device can be tuned to multiple frequencies. In addition, it has a higher energy dissipation capacity when compared with the conventional Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLDs). In order to evaluate the efficiency of this new damping device a series of free vibration and forced vibration tests were conducted on a scaled down single-story one-bay steel frame. Two different configurations were studied for the mass of the pendulum that included a completely and a partially submerged mass. It was observed that the completely submerged configuration led to 44% higher damping ratio when compared with the conventional TLD. In addition, the completely submerged configuration reduced the peak displacement response of the structure 1.6 times more than the conventional TLD. The peak acceleration response of the structure equipped with the new damping device was reduced twice more than the conventional TLD. It was also found that, when the excitation frequency is lower than the resonance frequency, the conventional TLD performs better than the partially submerged configuration of the new damping device.

The structure of a variable liquid column oscillator(a VLCO) is analogous to that of the tuned liquid column damper used to suppress oscillatory motion in large structures like tall buildings and cargo ships. The VLCO is a system absorbing high kinetic energy of accelerated motions of multiple floating bodies in the effect of air springs occurred by installation of inner air chambers. Thus, VLCO can improve the efficiency of energy than wave energy converters of the activating object type made in Pelamis Company. In this research, the experiment was performed that a simple floating body was filled with internal fluid of same draft. The characteristics of motions were evaluated in each case of the opening or closing of the upper valves.

In this research, the experiment was performed in two models of same draft. The one is that weights were filled, and the other is that water was filled. The numerical results were estimated by assuming that do not exist internal flow, and the results were compared with the results of experiments.

The structure of a variable liquid column oscillator(VLCO) is analogous to that of the tuned liquid column damper used to suppress oscillatory motion in large structures like tall buildings and cargo ships. The VLCO is a system for absorbing the high kinetic energy of the accelerated motions of multiple floating bodies using an air-spring effect produced the installation of inner air chambers. Thus, a VLCO can improve the energy efficiency of the activating object type of wave energy converters made by the Pelamis Company. In this research, an experiment was performed in two cases: with the top valves closed and open. The floating bodies were connected by hinges. The effect of the internal flow was estimated by comparing the results for the closed and open valves.
