Recently, deep learning that is the most popular and effective class of machine learning algorithms is widely applied to various industrial areas. A number of research on various topics about structural engineering was performed by using artificial neural networks, such as structural design optimization, vibration control and system identification etc. When nonlinear semi-active structural control devices are applied to building structure, a lot of computational effort is required to predict dynamic structural responses of finite element method (FEM) model for development of control algorithm. To solve this problem, an artificial neural network model was developed in this study. Among various deep learning algorithms, a recurrent neural network (RNN) was used to make the time history response prediction model. An RNN can retain state from one iteration to the next by using its own output as input for the next step. An eleven-story building structure with semi-active tuned mass damper (TMD) was used as an example structure. The semi-active TMD was composed of magnetorheological damper. Five historical earthquakes and five artificial ground motions were used as ground excitations for training of an RNN model. Another artificial ground motion that was not used for training was used for verification of the developed RNN model. Parametric studies on various hyper-parameters including number of hidden layers, sequence length, number of LSTM cells, etc. After appropriate training iteration of the RNN model with proper hyper-parameters, the RNN model for prediction of seismic responses of the building structure with semi-active TMD was developed. The developed RNN model can effectively provide very accurate seismic responses compared to the FEM model.

최근 인접 건축물의 진동제어와 관련된 연구가 몇몇 연구자에 의하여 수행되고 있으며 그리고 구조물의 지진동 제어를 위하여 준능동 감쇠기의 일종인 MR 감쇠기가 적용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MR 감쇠기의 위치에 따른 인접 건축물의 지진동 제어성능을 분석하여 MR 감쇠기의 설치에 대한 최적의 위치를 선정하고자 한다. 본 연구를 위하여 인접한 20층과 15층 건축물을 예제 구조물로 사용하였으며 이 예제 구조물은 서로 다른 고유진동수를 갖게 하였으며 예제 구조물의 지진동 제어를 위하여 Groundhook 제어기법을 적용하였다. 예제 구조물의 수치해석에 의한 지진응답 분석결과, 변위응답 제어를 위하여 인접 건축물의 최상층에 MR 감쇠기를 설치하는 것이 제어성능에 있어서 우수하며 가속도응답을 제어하기 위해서는 인접 건축물의 중간층에 MR 감쇠기를 설치하는 것이 우수한 제어성능을 보이고 있다. MR 감쇠기를 중간층에 설치할 경우에, 변위응답과 가속도응답을 동시에 제어가 가능하다. 따라서 건축물의 제어 목표에 따라서 MR 감쇠기 설치위치를 적절하게 선정해야 할 것이다.

본 논문은 지진응답을 제어하기 위해 다층 건물에 설치된 마찰감쇠기의 간단한 설계절차를 제안하였다. 마찰감쇠기는 비선형성이 강하므로 마찰감쇠기가 설치된 건물의 제어효과를 파악하는 것은 어렵다. 마찰감쇠기의 제어력은 층간속도에 영향을 받으므로, 인접한 모드가 서로 연계된다. 따라서 응답은 공진일 때 안정상태응답으로 가정하여 유도하였다. 첫째로 지진하중에 대한 정해응답을 구하는 것은 불가능하므로 조화가진을 받을 때의 근사해를 유도하였다. 둘째, 다층 건물을 단자유도로 변환하기 위해서 모드해석이 수행되었다. 셋째, 근사해를 이용하여 등가감쇠비를 유도하였다. 그리고 등가감쇠비를 이용하여 응답감소계수를 제안하였다. 마지막으로, 마찰감쇠기의 마찰력을 응답감소계수에 의해 설계하고 설계된 감쇠기를 7개의 지진파를 통해 검증하였다. 비선형해석 결과가 제안된 절차의 유효성을 확인하였다.

In this study, we investigated the dynamic characteristics of three irregular building models to analyze the effectiveness of displacement response control with Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) installation in twisted irregular buildings. The three irregular models were developed with a fixed angle of twist per story at one degree, subjected to three historical seismic loads and resonant harmonic loads. By designing TMDs with linear and dashpot attributes, we varied the total mass ratio of the installed TMDs from 0.00625% to 1.0%, encompassing a total of 10 values. Two TMDs were installed at the center of the top story of the analysis model in both X and Y directions to evaluate displacement response control performance based on TMD installation. Our findings suggest that the top displacement response control performance was most effective when a 1.0% TMD was installed at the top layer of the analysis model.

This study focuses on demonstrating the effectiveness of vibration control of tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) for reducing the bidirectional and torsional response of the irregular asymmetric structure with voided slabs under earthquake excitations. The TRMD arranged in plane of one-story eccentric structure is proposed as a distributed tuned rotary mass damper (DTRMD) system. Lagrange's equation is used to derive the equations of motion of the controlled system. The optimum position and number of TRMD are numerically investigated under harmonic excitation and the control effects of different distributions are discussed. Furthermore, a shaking table test is conducted under different excitation cases, including free vibration, forced vibration and seismic wave to investigate the absorption performance of the device. The numerical simulations of different distributions of the TRMDs show that the DTRMDs are more effective in reduction of the displacement response of the asymmetric structure under the same mass ratio, even when the degree of eccentricity becomes large. However, with small degree of eccentricity, the unreasonable asymmetrical arrangement may cause the increase of the peak value of the rotational angular displacement. Finally, the experimental investigations exhibit similar results of translational displacement of the structure. It is concluded that the vibration of the irregular asymmetric structure can be controlled more economically and effectively by reducing the mass ratio through reducing the quantity of TRMDs at the high stiffness end.

The present paper aims at studying the seismic response of structures equipped with viscoelastic dampers (VED). The performance of such a passive control system is here analyzed using the energy balance concept, which leads to an optimal design process. The methodology is based on an energy index (EDI) whose maximization permits determination of the optimal mechanical characteristics of VED. On the basis of a single degree of freedom model, it is shown that the maximum value of EDI corresponds to a simultaneous optimization of the significant kinematic and static response quantities, independently of the input. By using the proposed procedure, the optimal design of new and existing structures equipped with VED, inserted in traditional bracing systems, are here analyzed and discussed.

As a seismic damper the viscoelastic damper is known the effective method to control the drift of the flexible building. As the viscoelastic damper has the characteristics of both damping and stiffness specially when the rubber material used hysteretic damping. The behavior of the hysteretic damping is quite different from that of the viscous damping. For the evaluation of the viscoelastic damper for the seismic purpose the nonlinear response spectrum was generated based on the dynamic test of the viscoelastic damper and the results is compared to that of the typical linear response spectrum,

This study performed numerical analysis for obtaining optimal frequency and damping ratio of tuned mass damper (TMD) using 20 seismic loads measured at rock site. The structures of $1{\sim}2$ second natural period were considered, and optimal frequency and damping ratio were estimated for different mass ratio in terms of displacement and absolute acceleration response control. Numerical results showed that the values of the optimal parameters were different those from previous study by Hartog.

Many researches have been studied several vibration control device such as TMD and TLD to reduce the influence of wind or seismic waves for high-rise buildings. TLD provides some advantages such as easy installation and low maintenance cost. However, because of the difficulties in evaluating the characteristics of TLD, the dynamic characteristics of TLD must be investigated by experiment or analysis. In this study, the dynamic response analysis of structure with TLD was carried out to verify the vibration control ability of the proposed TLD for high-rise building with about 60 stories. A real seismic wave was used, and the parameter of interest was chosen by the height of water level in the same shape of water tank. From the numerical results, the responses of structure with water tank were confirmed to be safer than those of structure without water tank.
