TMD is basically designed to be tuned to the dominant frequency of a structure which
the excitation frequency will resonate the structural motion out of phase to reduce
unwanted vibration. However, a single unit TMD is only capable of suppressing the
fundamental structural mode and for multimode control, more than one TMD is
needed. In this study, a 3-storey benchmark reinforced structural building subjected
to El Centro seismic ground motion is modelled as uncontrolled Primary Structure (PS)
by including properties such as stiffness and damping. For the case of controlled PS
which the passive mechanism is included to the system, optimum parameters of both
TMD and Multiple TMD (MTMD) are designed to be tuned to the dedicated structural
modes where the performance is dependent on parameters such as mass ratio,
optimum damping ratio, and optimum frequency ratio. The input and output
components of structural system arrangements are then characterized in the transfer
function manner and then converted into state space function. For enhancement of
the passive system, Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper is added to both single TMD
and MTMD passive system. The response analysis is executed using both time history
and frequency response analysis. From the analysis, semi-active case is the most
effective mechanism with 99% displacement reduction for the third and second floors,
and 98% for the first floor, compared to the uncontrolled case. It is concluded that the
MR damper significantly contributed to the enhancement of the passive system to
mitigate structural seismic vibration.
