    Optimization of Tuned Mass Dampers by Considering Soil-Structure Interaction and Uncertainty in Soil Parameters
    (ASCE-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2025) Roozbahan, Mostafa; Turan, Guersoy
    The tuned mass damper (TMD) is one of the oldest and most widely used passive control devices, designed to absorb lateral energy from structures and mitigate vibrations. Various methods have been proposed for the optimal design of TMDs to minimize structural responses in buildings. However, many of these approaches overlook soil-structure interaction (SSI). Among the few studies that do account for SSI, most rely on certain soil parameter values. In reality, however, soil parameters are uncertain and can vary due to environmental factors such as soil water content. This study introduces an innovative method for optimizing TMDs by incorporating soil parameter uncertainties. The method's effectiveness is evaluated by comparing TMDs optimized using the proposed approach, TMD designed by incorporating soil parameter uncertainties (TMD-UNC) with those optimized using certain soil parameters values (TMD-CRT) and those optimized without SSI consideration (TMD-FB). A 6-story shear building model with 200 uncertain soil scenarios is used for the comparison. The results showed that, on average, TMDs optimized for uncertainty marginally outperformed TMD-CRT-Mid, which is optimized with the midpoint of soil parameter ranges. However, these TMDs outperformed TMDs optimized for stiffest and softest soil conditions in reducing responses of uncertain systems. All these TMDs proved significantly more effective at reducing structural responses than the TMD designed for a fixed-base condition.

    Pre-Identification Data Merging for Multiple Setup Measurements With Roving References
    (Springer Verlag, 2020) Ceylan, Hasan; Turan, Gürsoy; Hızal, Çağlayan
    One-time operational modal analysis (OMA) of large civil structures requires measurements of the vibrations, which, according to the number of channels to be measured, are generally expensive and arduous to obtain. In this study, identification of modal parameters of civil structures has been investigated by using multiple setups with a roving reference channel. In this manner, a limited amount of equipment becomes sufficient for OMA of structures. The procedure consists of a transformation function between measurement setups, which transforms all measured data to the time frame of a selected reference setup. To illustrate the procedure, an existing 10 story laboratory shear frame model is considered. A numerical and an experimental investigation have been carried out to identify its modal characteristics. The validity of the procedure has been explained in detail by making use of a coherence function in-between the multi-setup measurements. According to the results, OMA by using only a few sensors with the performed procedure can be equivalent to OMA by using a full measurement setup. Against a common believe, the results of this study reveal that synchronization among the setups does not prominently affect the identification results.
