    Efficiency Evaluation of Optimal Tlcd and Tmd for the Seismic Response Reduction of Buildings Considering Soil-Structure Interaction Effect
    (Springer, 2025) Roozbahan, Mostafa; Masnata, Chiara; Turan, Guersoy; Pirrotta, Antonina
    Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) and Tuned Liquid Column Dampers (TLCDs) are widely recognized passive vibration control devices used to reduce structural vibrations. While TMDs have been extensively studied for mitigating the seismic responses of multi-story buildings considering Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI), the efficiency of TLCDs in these conditions remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, a direct comparison of these devices under similar conditions has not been conducted. Then, to address these gaps, this study investigates the efficiency of TLCDs and compares them to TMDs in reducing seismic-induced vibrations, focusing on the influence of SSI. The control performance of both devices depends on various parameters, primarily the frequency and damping ratios. Therefore, the Mouth Brooding Fish (MBF) metaheuristic algorithm is applied to optimize these parameters, accounting for SSI effects. To evaluate the different efficiency between TMDs and TLCDs under SSI conditions, three types of shear buildings are considered: an eight-story, a sixteen-story and a forty-story structure. The seismic responses of the uncontrolled, TMD-controlled, and TLCD-controlled buildings are examined under twenty-two far-field and fourteen near-field earthquakes, considering both fixed-base and flexible-base scenarios. Results indicate that while both devices significantly reduce seismic responses, TMDs generally outperform TLCDs, particularly in taller buildings where the impact of SSI is more significant. Further, this study highlights that neglecting SSI in the design of these devices may lead to an overestimation of their effectiveness, especially in softer soils, emphasizing the importance of considering SSI in the optimization process for accurate and reliable outcomes.

    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.
