Tuned mass dampers (TMD) is one of the most common devices for the passive control of structures subjected to wind, earthquakes, etc, the structure of these dampers consists of three main parameters: mass, damping, and spring. The article considers the use of TMD in building to reduce the acceleration and amplitude of vibrations on the upper floors. In this research, some current applications of TMD were proposed to study the response of 3-story height buildings with periodic load using time history analysis with and without the TMD. The study indicates that the response of structures such as displacements and acceleration of the upper floors can be dramatically reduced. The goal of the study is to identify an economically attractive solution that allows the fullest use of the potential of building structures in high-rise construction, abandoning the need to build massive frames leading to over-consumption of materials.
