Abstract
Recent seismic events have highlighted the vulnerability of reinforced concrete buildings, especially soft-story structures, to damage and collapse during strong earthquakes due to the ground's vibrational response. This study aims to mitigate these adverse vibrations using passive control mechanisms, particularly tuned mass dampers (TMDs). Conventional TMDs require a substantial mass to effectively influence the structure's lateral reactions. The research explores the use of multi-tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) and double-tuned mass dampers (DTMDs) in a soft-story building. The study uses MATLAB to estimate TMD parameters and subject the models to seismic loading. The comparative assessment of these models reveals the potential benefits of using MTMD and DTMD systems to enhance the seismic resilience of soft-story structures.

期刊介绍:
World Earthquake Engineering was founded in 1985 and is now a quarterly journal. It is an academic journal in the field of earthquake engineering under the supervision of China Earthquake Administration (CEA), and co-sponsored by the Institute of Engineering Mechanics of China Earthquake Administration (IEMCA) and the Chinese Society of Mechanics (CSM). The journal aims to introduce the latest research results in the field of earthquake engineering at home and abroad, to promote international academic exchanges in the field of earthquake engineering, and to serve China's seismic prevention and anti-seismic work. China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) selected China's high-quality scientific and technological journals in different fields for its hierarchical catalogue, and the journal was selected as T2 level (internationally renowned journals) of earth science and geophysical journals. Outstanding journal for the implementation of the CAJ-CD Code in the implementation of the Chinese Academic Journals (CD-ROM Version) Retrieval and Evaluation Data Specification (CAJ-CD Code) in the evaluation of excellence activities; included in the cultivation bank of Heilongjiang Province's high-quality journal projects.
