Abstract:The project aim is to study the effectiveness of structure with and without using Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLD) in
reducing the seismic vibration of a building when it is subjected to horizontal sinusoidal excitation. Tuned liquid damper is a
device which is also known as passive damping device that consists of tanks filled with liquid to suppress the horizontal
vibration of structures using the moving effect of water. Usually tuned liquid damper are connected on the top of main
structure. In the present work, the structure with and without tuned liquid damper buildings of 30 storey structural model are
considered. Also a comparison on the basis of liquid damper and parameters such as base shear, storey drift , joint
displacement etc considered. The necessity of with and without tuned liquid damper structures are analysed in various seismic
zone. Zone analysed are zone 2 and zone 4 respectively. The analysis is carried out by Staadpro v8i ss6 software.
Key Words: 30 storied building, tuned liquid damper, seismic zones 2 and 4, staadpro v8i.
1. Introduction
An earthquake is the shaking of ground surface, which cannot be predictable like other natural calamities.
Earthquake causes the vibration of structure, which can damage the structure and affect people. Hence, structure
constructed in highly seismic zone areas should be designed in such a way that the vibration occurring over the
structure can be reduced. Various methods have been developed to minimize the vibration caused by earthquake.
The methods include shear walls, base isolator, dampers, etc. Among these dampers are widely in use. Dampers
are also further classified as tuned mass damper and tuned liquid dampers and many other.
