[Information] Vibration control measures for buildings and machinery using TMD.

Introduction to vibration control measures for buildings and machinery using TMD, illustrated with photos and illustrations.

This document introduces vibration control measures for buildings and mechanical equipment using TMD (Tuned Mass Dampers). Since supplying TMD for the vertical vibration control of cable-stayed bridges in 1987, Gelb has a wealth of experience in providing solutions for horizontal vibrations in skyscrapers, control towers, observation towers, and vertical vibrations in bridge girders and large-span floors. Vertical vibration control is applied to structures such as long-span beams, bridge girders, stairs, and stadium roofs. The TMD, which operates in the vertical direction, consists of coil springs and viscous dampers and has been adopted for pedestrian vibration control, exemplified by the London Millennium Bridge, as well as for traffic vibration control on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Additionally, an AMD (Active Mass Damper) was installed as a vertical vibration control measure directly beneath a concert hall in a hotel in Las Vegas, and local measurements confirmed the effectiveness of vibration reduction.
