Reliability-Based Design of Tuned Mass Damper Using Monte Carlo Simulation Under Artificial Earthquake Records

Displacement- and reliability-based designs of tuned mass damper (TMD) for a shear building are studied herein. Different sources of uncertainties such as earthquake records and their peak ground accelerations (PGA), masses of floors, cross-sectional dimensions of structural members, damping of the structure and modulus of elasticity are considered. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is used for evaluating the performance of the designed TMD. A method for generating artificial earthquake record by using wavelet packet transform (WPT) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to generate artificial records for areas without sufficient strong ground motion records. An illustrative example is used to study the displacement- and reliability-based designs of TMD, which are related to minimizing the structural displacement and maximizing the performance of TMD, respectively. In addition, the performance of TMD on mitigating the response of structure and its reliability under uncertain parameters of loading an...
