Vibration control of adjacent buildings based on tuned viscous mass damper

Abstract

In this paper, two adjacent buildings of unequal height are established using finite-element software, and damping devices are connected between the two buildings. The results of three models were obtained through non-linear analysis. These include the adjacent building model (CAIM-T) based on the tuned viscous mass damper, the adjacent building model (CAIM-V) with the viscous damper connection (CAIM-V) and adjacent building structure no additional damping model (CAIM). The results show that through reasonable parameter design and adjustment, compared with the CAIM system, the CAIM-T system and the CAIM-V system can weaken the interlayer drift and floor acceleration of the building structure, and the CAIM-T system has better vibration control effect than the CAIM-V system.
