Recent advances in enhancing seismic resilience of high-rise buildings using tuned mass dampers and base isolation systems: a review

Abstract

High-rise building construction has increased recently because to factors like population growth, a lack of available residential space, and a lack of adequate land for construction. HRBs are more susceptible to earthquakes as a result of activities brought on by the development in several industries, which has increased seismic activity. The necessity for efficient methods to improve high-rise buildings’ seismic performance has been highlighted by the rising frequency of seismic events. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements in the application of TMDs and base isolation systems in high-rise buildings. The paper discusses the fundamental principles, design considerations, and comparative performance of these systems. It also explores the emerging trend of combining TMDs with base isolation to harness the synergistic benefits of both mechanisms. Additionally, the development of more resilient and adaptable high-rise structures in seismically active areas is supported by highlighting current issues, research gaps, and future directions.
