본 연구에서는 하나의 제어장치로 서로 직교하는 2방향의 건물응답을 동시에 제어할 수 있는 동조액체질량감쇠기(Tuned Liquid Mass Damper; TLMD)를 제안하고 제어성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 TLMD는 한 방향으로는 동조액체기둥감쇠기(Tuned Liquid Column Damper; TLCD) 내부에 채워진 액체의 운동에너지를 이용하여 구조물의 응답을 제어하게 된다. 그리고, 다른 한 방향 즉 TLCD의 직각 방향으로는 LM guide(linear motion guide) 위에 놓인 TLCD 수조와 내부의 액체의 질량을 이용하여 동조질량감쇠기(Tuned Mass Damper; TMD)로 거동하게 함으로써 구조물의 응답을 감소시킨다. 이와 같은 TLMD의 양방향 독립거동 특성을 증명하기 위해 실물크기의 구조물에 설치하여 강제진동실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 양방향 모두 대상 구조물의 응답을 감소시키는 것을 확인하여 제안된 TLMD의 효용성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, a two-way tuned liquid mass damper(TLMD) using a tuned liquid column damper(TLCD) and a rubber-bearing-type tuned mass damper(TMD) was manufactured for controlling two-way direction acceleration responses of a high-rise building structure. The proposed controlling device behaves as a tuned liquid column damper in one direction and as a tuned mass damper in the other direction. In this study, Performance evaluation of the downscaled model is conducted. The results show that the two-way controllability is behaved independently each other and realscale TLMD applicable to the high-rise building can be designed.

본 연구에서는 동조질량감쇠기(TMD)와 동조액체 기둥감쇠기(TLCD)로 구성된 2방향 감쇠기의 제어성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 감쇠기는 한방향으로는 TMD로 거동하고, 다른 직교하는 방향에서는 TLCD로 거동하여 제어력이 발생하는 감쇠기이다. 우선, 제작된 감쇠기의 동적특성과 TMD와 TLCD에 의해 발생하는 제어력들의 연계효과를 조사하기 위한 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 다음으로 이러한 실험결과를 바탕으로 감쇠기의 동적특성에 영향을 미치는 파라미터를 정량적으로 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 감쇠기가 입사각을 갖는 진동에 의해 가진될 때 TMD와 TLCD에 의해 연계된 제어력이 발생하는 것을 진동대 실험결과로부터 확인하였다. 또한, 감쇠기가 건축물의 2방향 응답제어에도 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A new type bi-directional damper using a tuned liquid column damper(TLCD) and a tuned sloshing damper(TSD) is introduced in this study. Two dampers are usually needed to reduce wind-induced responses of tall buildings since they are along and across wind ones. The proposed damper has the advantage of controlling both responses with one damper. One of objectives of this study is to derive analytical dynamics to investigate coupled effects due to TLCD and TSD. Another objective is to address the effect of coupled control force due to TLCD and TSD on the dynamic characteristic of the damper based on analytical dynamics. Shaking table test is undertaken to experimentally grasp dynamic characteristics of the damper under white noise excitation. Its dynamic characteristic is expressed by the transfer function from the shaking table acceleration to the control force generated from the damper. Finally, its design parameters are identified based on the coupled dynamics, which include the mass ratio of horizontal liquid column to total liquid for a TLCD, the participation factor of the fundamental liquid sloshing for a TSD and damping ratio for both cases.

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.

The objective of this study is to investigate design parameters of a tuned liquid column damper(TLCD), which is affected by various excitation amplitudes, through shaking table test. Design parameters of a TLCD are examined based on the equivalent tuned mass damper(TMD) model of a TLCD, in which the nonlinear damping of a TLCD is transposed to equivalent viscous damping. Shaking table test is carried out for a TLCD specimen subjected to harmonic waves with various amplitudes. Transfer functions are ratios of liquid displacement of TLCD and control force produced by a TLCD, respectively, with respect to the acceleration excited by a shaking table. They are derived based on the equivalent TMD model of a TLCD. Then, the variation of design parameters according to the excitation amplitude is examined by comparing analytical transfer functions with experimental ones. Finally, the dissipation energy due to the damping of a TLCD, which is experimentally observed from the shaking table test, is examined according to the excitation amplitude. Comparisons between test results and analytical transfer functions showed that natural frequencies of TLCD and the ratio of the liquid mass in a horizontal column to the total liquid mass does not depend on the excitation amplitude, while the damping ratio of a TLCD increases with larger excitation amplitudes.

The study of the optimal damping ratio of a tuned liquid-column damper (or TLCD) attached to a single-degree-of-freedom system is presented. The tuned liquid-column damper is composed of two vertical columns connected by a horizontal section in the bottom and partially filled with water. The ratio of the length of the horizontal section to the effective wetted length of a TLCD considered as another important parameter is also presented for investigation. A simple pendulum-like model test is conducted to simulate a long-period motion in order to prove the effectiveness of TLCD for vibrational control. Comparisons of the experimental and analytic results of the TLCD, TLD (tuned-liquid damper), and TMD (tuned-mass damper) are included for discussion.

In this study, the control performances of Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) and Tuned Liquid Column Damper (TLCD) are evaluated and compared for seismically excited structures. Results show that TLCD is more effective than TMD for interstory drift control while TLCD is as effective as TMD for acceleration control. In special, it is shown that interstory drifts are maximally controlled in lower floors and accelerations are reduced most in upper floors. This indicates that TLCD is an effective controller for earthquake-induced structures in terms of structural safety as well as serviceability.

This paper presents a design of a tuned liquid mass damper(TLMD) for controlling bi-directional response of high-rise building structure subjected to windload. The proposed damper behaves as a tuned mass damper(TMD) of which mass is regarded as the mass of a tuned liquid column damper(TLCD) and the case wall of the TLCD itself in one direction and the TLCD in the other direction. Because the proposed device has coupled design parameter along two orthogonal directions, it is very important to select designing components by optimal fine tuning. In the designing TLMD, for easy maintenance, the rubber-bearing with small springs was applied in TMD direction. In this study, the Songdo New City Tower 1A in Korea, which has been designed and constructed two TLCDs in order to control bi-directional response, was chosen as the model building structure. The results of rotation test proved the effectiveness of bi-directional behavior of TLMD.
