A REVIEW ON VIBRATION CONTROL OF COMPOSITE SLAB USING TUNED MASS DAMPER

Abstract

Floors are highly susceptible to vibrations during its functional usage and owing to its lesser thickness as
compared to the plan dimensions. The type of vibrations induced depends on the functionality of the floor. The induced
vibrations can lead to serviceability issues and also can render psychological effects on the inhabitants. The services
used in the building can also be badly affected due to the induced vibrations which can be due to machine running on the
floors, walking, dancing activities and other human induced impact forces. This review has been undertaken to
understand the ill effects caused by vibrations generated by various sources on floor systems. Many authors have worked
to reduce these vibrations by installations of various control systems. A detailed study has been undertaken in this paper
to study and understand the mitigations of these vibrations.
