Parameter optimization and structural design of tuned mass damper for shanghai centre tower

With a height of 632 m, Shanghai centre tower (SHC), located in Lujiazui district of Shanghai, will be the highest building in China. A tuned mass damper (TMD) system will be set in the upper part to control the structural wind-induced response. The optimum control parameters of TMD were obtained through different optimization cases of TMD system parameters for wind vibration control. Then, Based on the conceptual design of SHC TMD system, theoretical analysis and formula derivation of dual pendulum systems, which is an improved form of traditional pendulum systems, was carried out, and the fundamental design method and process of dual pendulum systems is proposed in the paper.
