RESUMO

The ongoing progress of structural analyses and dimensioning, in addition to the continuous advancements in building techniques and material, has made it possible to build taller and more slender structures every day. These structures are also more vulnerable to excessive vibrations caused by dynamic loads like earthquakes, winds, waves, intense traffic, and human occupation, amongst others. In order to reduce those excessive vibrations, a structural control system can be used, which will absorb part of the structures energy, improving its performance in relation with such disturbances. In this work, the efficiency of a tuned pendulum-shaped mass damper is evaluated in the reduction of the displacement, velocity and acceleration of a structure when it is subjected to dynamic excitations. The optimum parameters for the damper are also presented (cable length and damping ratio for the pendulum) when the main system or structure is subject to random ambient excitation, given by power spectral density functions. Initially, both the alterations produced by earthquakes as well as the ones produced by winds will be studied, taking into consideration a constant spectral density (white noise); subsequently, more realistic spectral density functions, like Kanai- Tajimis, when dealing with seismic alterations, and Davenports, when analyzing forces due to wind load, will be examined. The entire numeric study that is done considers a shear frame of ten stories, reduced to one degree of freedom by the method of modal superposition, taking the contribution of the first mode as the most significant. If the rotation of the pendulum is small, the linear approach is acceptable, thus it is adopted here. Keywords: structural dynamics; vibration control; tuned mass damper (TMD); semiactive control.
