Abstract

In this research, the performance of tuned liquid damper attached to single degree freedom steel model have
been evaluated during lateral movement, by free vibration analysis. Awater tank mounted on test model containing water
of certain depth, serves as tuned liquid damper (TLD). A method of logarithmic decrement have been used to find the
damping ratio of test model from its free vibration response. The properties of structural model, with and without tuned
liquid damper have been compared. It was found that tuned liquid damper increases the damping ratio of structural model
by virtue of which it helps in reducing response of structure during lateral movement.
