Abstract

Natural period of architectural structure have been longer to be high-rise in recent years. Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is applied for the structural response reduction in such a long period structure. In general since there are a lot of design cases using a guide rail for linear motion guide of the mass in TMD, the friction coefficient in assembled TMD becomes almost from 3/1000 to 5/1000. The friction coefficient leads an important problem in view point of performance design for long period structures because of that the friction force becomes a large compared with starting inertia force. In this study, new type TMD with air pressure floating technique has been examined to reduce a friction force for starting inertia force, and to set 0.01 m/s2 in starting acceleration as a performance target. This paper shows the evaluation results for fundamental performance from static loading test and shaking table test.
