abstract: appealing to the principle of vertical residence and stemming the horizontal expansion of the city, the tehran milad tower is being built on 35000 sm3 site with the total area of 220000 sm3. with a height of over 170m, this 56-story concrete building is in the final stages of construction and would be the highest residential building of iran. since tehran is located in a high-risk earthquake zone, all of its structures must be designed for seismic loads. in this building, the lateral loads are carried with three main shear walls, which are located in an angle of 120 degrees and the gravity loads are transferred from the concrete slabs to the secondary shear walls. since the introduction of tuned mass dampers (tmd) by frahm in 1909, as a passive control system, numerous investigations have been carried out to examine the effect of these devices in reducing seismic response of the structures. the objective of incorporating a tmd into a structures is to reduce the energy dissipation demand on the primary structural members subjected to external forces. this reduction is accomplished by transferring some of the structural vibration energy to the tmd and dissipating the energy at the damper of tmd. the purpose of this paper is to design and evaluate the effectiveness of tmd for response reduction of the tehran tower under seismic excitations. a lumped mass model of the building was provided with 112 translational and 56 rotational degrees of freedom using solid and shell elements. time history analyses were performed to calculate the response of the structure subjected to some earthquake records. the same procedure was followed for the models with attached tmd. the control effectiveness of tmd was evaluated by comparing the tower's responses with those of the towers without control device. furthermore, multiple tuned mass dampers are suggested as a solution for insufficiency of tmd.

Studies have already demonstrated the successful use of linear semiactive damping devices, such as variable orifice (VO) dampers, for semiactive TMD systems. More recently, nonlinear semiactive damping devices, such as magnetorheological (MR) dampers, have also been shown to be effective for semiactive control of TMDs. Though semiactive dampers differ widely, with responses ranging from linear ...

Today, urbanization (living at apartments) phenomenon as the most common type of residence of cities has been changed so that mainly reflects the chaos in this area. Too much attention paid to economic indicators compromised the balance in the housing sector and created a new type of buildings. The occurred changes indicate ignoring cultural characteristics, less attention paid to cultural conc...
