Tuned sloshing dampers on steel structures: Model and experience
Abstract
The paper focuses on the possibility of coupling liquid dampers to structural constructions for mitigating their response under the action of dynamic excitations, such as seismic events. The difficulties met in modeling the sloshing of the fluid at the inner of the containers is emphasized, showing their non-linear behaviour. Considerations about possible simplifications are discussed and experimental results are reported from a laboratory campaign for evaluating benefits related to the adoption of liquid mass damping devices.
