Evaluation of slope bottom tuned liquid dampers in reduction of earthquake vibrations of structure

Abstract

In this study an attempt has been made to systematically investigate the performance of sloped bottom TLD for controlling the dynamic response of reinforced concrete RC frame with various types slope such as central slope dual triangular slopes end slope combination of central and end slope and combination of dual triangular slopes and end slope considering a wide range of slope angles at bottom of TLD Performances of sloped bottom TLD and flat bottom TLD are also evaluated and compared...
