1 Introduction

Given the modern development plans of large cities whichare designed to answer the needs of their fast-growingpopulation it is anticipated that the buildings in such citieswill become taller and more expensive [1] As result the areaof investigating solutions to provide safety and serviceabilityof tall buildings in case of natural hazards such as strongwinds and earthquakes has gained much attention in the lastdecade

e current seismic design codes allow the structures toundergo inelastic deformations during strong earthquakesSuch structures would experience larger deformations butless seismic forces otherwise the structure should sustainmuch larger earthquake loads

On the contrary the deformations under wind andearthquake loads are limited because of stability and ser-viceability provisions e resultant structures are stiffenough to withstand the wind loads without forming

noticeable deformations while simultaneously being ductileenough to withstand strong earthquakes by adopting non-linear behaviors

However particularly for controlling the vibrations intall buildings the code-based approaches do not necessarilylead to an applicable and affordable solution as thesestructures need to withstand much larger wind and earth-quake loads even though they have much lower lateralstiffness compared to low- and midrise buildings Moreoverbecause of their very high construction costs they are usuallydesigned to endure for longer time periods which increasetheir risk of experiencing strong earthquakes over the courseof their service life

A modern answer to these issues is the idea of structuralcontrol systems that include a variety of techniques whichcan be classified into four main categories passive activesemiactive and hybrid

From a historical point of view passive control systemssuch as base isolations and tuned mass dampers (TMDs)

were the first of these techniques to be implementedConsiderable research has focused on the passive controllersystems and they are already utilized in many countries[2 3] As these systems need no external power supply theyare easier to implement and design when compared to otheradvanced controllers In structural control problems TMDshave been successfully implemented in different structuressuch as bridges [4 5] and buildings [6ndash11] to reduceearthquake- and wind-induced vibrations Observations ofTMDs show that they can effectively reduce vibrations instructures that are excited by high winds high-speed trainsand traffic loads and also help decrease the discomfort of theinhabitants during minor earthquakes [5 12 13] Underearthquake excitations the literature shows that the per-formance of the TMDs decreases as the duration of exci-tation shortens erefore the TMDs are more effective forstructures subjected to narrowband long-duration far-fault(FF) excitations compared to pulse-like near-fault (NF)ground motions As single TMD systems can be tuned to aparticular frequency they are very sensitive to mistuningand uncertainties As a solution multiple tuned massdampers (MTMDs) were first introduced by Xu et al in 1990[14] after which they have been studied in several researchstudies [8 9 11 15ndash19] Li and Qu [20] considered thestructure as a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systemwhen connected to multiple TMDs and studied the opti-mum design parameters for those TMDs With respect tousingMTMD systems inmultistory buildings Chen andWu[8] studied the efficiency of using multiple TMDs in miti-gating the seismic responses in a six-story building Afterthat Sakr [15] used partial floor loads as MTMDs eseresearch studies show that the MTMD systems cover a widerfrequency range and are less sensitive to the uncertainties ofthe system

In addition to multistory buildings several tall buildingshave benefited from the utilization of TMDs in controllingtheir vibrations (see Figure 1)

As has been shown most of them are equipped with asingle TMD which is placed on the top level of the buildinge studies also showed that using a single TMD on the toplevels of the tall buildings can effectively reduce wind-in-duced motions [22 23] is is because the structures re-spond to the wind excitation with respect to their firststructural mode in which the top levels of the building havemaximum modal displacement erefore placing a singleTMD on the top level with a tuning frequency closer to thefundamental structural frequency can efficiently reduce thestructural responses In another research Elias andMatsagar[9] studied the use of distributed MTMD systems in re-ducing wind-induced vibrations in a tall building eyconcluded that the distributedMTMDs aremore effective ascompared to a single TMD system and an MTMD system inwhich all the TMDs are placed on the top level

e research studies show that TMDs are also effective inmitigating earthquake vibrations in buildings Arfiadi andHadi [6] used a hybrid genetic algorithm method to find theoptimum properties and the location of a TMD for a 10-story building under earthquake excitation In another re-search Pourzeinali et al [24] utilized multiobjective

optimization to outline the design parameters of a TMD in a12-story building under earthquake excitation Li [11]proposed a novel optimum criterion to optimize theproperties of double TMDs for structures under groundacceleration In another research Elias et al studied theeffectiveness of a distributed TMD system in vibrationcontrol of a chimney [25] e research developments inpassive control of structures using TMDs are summarized byElias and Matsagar [26]

In all the research studies about tall buildings cited hereeither the parameters of the TMDs have mainly been studiedunder wind-induced vibrations or a single TMD has beenstudied under earthquake excitation currently studying theoptimum parameters of TMDs under earthquake excitationwithout limiting the number and location of TMDs is still achallenging task because of the stochastic nature of theearthquakes and the complex seismic behavior of suchbuildings which mandate extensive and thorough studies

Additionally in contrast to the wind loads duringearthquakes the higher modes may have more noticeableparticipation in the total response of tall buildings is ismainly because of the (1) low frequency of the higher modesin these structures compared to low- and midrise buildingsand (2) wide frequency content of the earthquakes that mayactivate multiple modes in such buildings erefore onlycontrolling the lower modes by placing TMDs on the toplevels would not necessarily lead to the optimum solution forcontrolling the motions in these buildings duringearthquakes

11 ProblemDefinition is paper addresses the mentionedissues by studying the optimum placement and properties ofTMDs in a 76-story benchmark building as the case studywhich is subjected to seven scaled earthquake excitationse variables of the resultant optimization problem includethe positions and properties of the TMD e goal of theoptimization is to reduce the controlled-to-uncontrolledratio of the displacement velocity and acceleration seismicresponses In order to solve such multiobjective optimiza-tion problem an improved revision of the nondominatedsorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is developed andutilized

In each loop the algorithm generates an arrangementand properties of the TMDs using the NSGA-II method andsends them to the analyzer module to determine the re-sponses of the building equipped with such a TMD ar-rangement under different earthquake excitations Based onthe responses the algorithm assigns a fitness value for suchTMD arrangements e fitness value is an index that showshow good or bad the obtained responses are e NSGA-IIthen utilizes a refined history of the TMD arrangements andcorresponding fitness values for its next suggestion in thenext loop In this study the algorithm was allowed to spendan applicable mass in a single TMD or distribute it throughmultiple TMDs over the height of the building

3 The Fast and Elitist Multiobjective GeneticAlgorithm NSGA-II

31 Introduction In this paper the NSGA-II method [28] isutilized to investigate the optimum arrangement andproperties of TMDs in a tall building NSGA-II is a non-domination-based genetic algorithm invented for multi-objective optimization problems In this method the initialpopulation is randomly generated as in a normal GAprocedure and then the algorithm sorts the population withrespect to the nondomination rank and the crowdingdistance

In general X dominates Y if X is no worse than Y in allthe objectives and if X is better than Y in at least oneobjective

Among the nondominated solutions or a union of therst ranks of nondominated solutions NSGA-II seeks abroad coverage shyis will be achieved by crowding distancewhich is the Manhattan distance between the left and rightneighboring solutions for two objectives

32 Repair shye repair method makes infeasible solutionsfeasible Figure 2 schematically shows the repair approachfor a solution space with an infeasible solution and twosolutions in the feasible region In this research an infeasiblesolution includes the out-of-limit properties for TMDs As isshown the repair function would project each of theseinfeasible solutions to the closest feasible solution shyedeveloped repair function calculates the shortest distance ofthe TMD properties (m0 β andψ) in the infeasible solutionand corrects the chromosome with respect to the calculateddistance (see Algorithm 1)

33 Selection shye objective of selection is to choose the tterindividuals in the population to create osprings for the nextgeneration and then place them in a group commonly

known as the mating poolshyemating pool is then subjectedto further genetic operations that result in advancing thepopulation to the next generation and hopefully closer to theoptimal solution In this research the roulette wheel se-lection method was utilized for developing the selectorfunction As is also shown in Algorithm 2 the algorithmselects the individuals based on a probability proportional tothe tness As is schematically illustrated in Figure 3 theprinciple of roulette selection is a linear search through aroulette wheel with the slots in the wheel weighted inproportion to the individualrsquos tness values All the chro-mosomes (individuals) in the population are placed on theroulette wheel according to their tness value [30] In thisalgorithm a probability value is assigned to each individualin the population Based on these probabilities the ranges [01] are divided between the individuals so that each indi-vidual obtains a unique range shye winning individual isthen selected by generating a random number between zeroand one and nding the individual whose range includes thisrandom number

In this algorithm the ADDRANGE function assigns arange to each individual based on their tness value andtheir position on the wheel and the RND(1) function gen-erates a random value between zero and one

34 Optimization Variables In this study three variableswere dened to be optimized by the NSGA As is sche-matically shown in Figure 4 the variables are as follows

After developing the genes for each TMD the chro-mosomes are then created by combining all genes for eachsolution As a result each chromosome contains the codeddata of all TMDs in the building Using this definition theposition of each TMD is represented by the position of therelated genes in the chromosome

36 Genetic Operators

361 Crossover Function In the crossover operation twoselected parents exchange random parts of their chromo-some to create new offsprings An appropriate strategy forselecting locations of the split points and the length of thetransferred genes depends on the problem characteristicsthat highly affect the performance of the algorithm and thequality of the final results

In this regard different alternatives have been studied inthis research to develop an appropriate crossover functionExamples of crossover operation forms that have beenutilized in other research studies but were not appropriatefor this research are discussed as follows

(1) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in WholeChromosome In the initial steps a completely random se-lection of the genes for crossover has been considered as acommonly used crossover function In this crossover typeafter the parents are nominated by the algorithm one or kpoints in the chromosome are randomly selected and thenew offsprings are created by splitting and combining theparentsrsquo chromosomes at the selected points is processhas often resulted in producing too many meaningless andlow-quality offsprings consequently reducing the perfor-mance of the algorithm dramatically Examples of mean-ingless offsprings can include TMDs without one or moreproperties (eg without mass or stiffness)

(2) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in TMD GenesPreventing the production of meaningless offsprings thecrossover function was improved in this study so that the

genes related to the TMDs in each parent could be selectedfor performing a k-point crossover Although the chance ofcreating meaningless offsprings was noticeably reduced theresults showed that the efficiency of the operator in im-proving the results was not acceptable as following thisprocess all the genes within the considered range for a TMDwould be subjected to the same operations regardless of thegenesrsquo positions

For example the genes related to the stiffness of a TMDin a parent were exchanged with those related to thedamping properties in another parent which is not logicalAs a result despite its improvements compared to the firsttype the second crossover type leads to a very low con-vergence rate because of the production of low-qualityoffsprings In addition one possible shortcut for reaching anoptimum solution was missed this step involves attachingthe TMD of one parent to a story in another parent

However the maximum convergence rate obtained bydeveloping a two-variant crossover function is presented inAlgorithm 3 As is shown in this function in each call oneof the two developed crossover variants would be selectedrandomly ese variants are described as follows

(i) Variant 1 in the first variation the crossover op-erator acts on each of the parameters of the TMDsseparately using the k-point crossover methodmeaning that in each call the crossover operatoracts on the stiffness mass or damping of the parentsand exchanges the related properties using thek-point crossover function e produced offspringshave TMDs in the same locations as their parentsbut with different properties Investigation of theperformance of this function showed that this var-iant improves the parameters of the TMDs re-gardless of their positions

(ii) Variant 2 the second crossover variation acts on thelocation of TMDs in the parents e resultantoffsprings include TMDs with the same properties astheir parents but in other stories ese two cross-over variations are demonstrated in Figure 6

362 Mutation Function In the genetic algorithm themutation operator randomly changes one or multiple genesof a parent to produce new offsprings Generally in thebinary coded chromosome the following function is utilizedto change the genes

Binarymutation(gen) 1 if gen value 0

0 if gen value 11113896 (7)

In GA problems the mutation function helps thealgorithm to explore the solution space more broadly andprevents it from sticking to the local minimums In ad-dition a proper mutation function improves the con-vergence speed In this research in order to develop anappropriate mutation function different variants werestudied It is understood that developing the mutationfunction without considering the characteristics ofthe problem would result in producing meaningless

As a case study a 76-story 306m tall official buildingconsisting of the concrete core and concrete frames wasconsidered e total mass of the building was 153000tonnes e initial mathematical model of the building in-cluded 76 transitional and 76 rotational degrees of freedomin which the rotational degrees of freedom were then re-moved by the static condensation method to create a 76-

degree-of-freedom model e damping matrix of thebuilding was calculated by considering a 1 damping ratiofor the first five modes using Rayleighrsquos approach

In this research the ground motions were selected andscaled using an intensity-based assessment procedureconsidered according to ASCESEI 07-10 In this regardseven earthquakesrsquo real acceleration records were selectedfrom the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center(PEER) NGA strong motion database [31] (see Figure 8) andthen scaled using a design response spectrum [32 33] epeak ground acceleration (PGA) and other seismic pa-rameters of the considered design response spectrum areshown in Table 2

e specifications of the nonscaled and scaled selectedearthquakes are presented in Tables 3 and 4 e spectra ofthe nonscaled and scaled excitations are shown in Figure 9

6 Sensitivity Analysis of GeneticAlgorithm Parameters

As the parameters of GAs are highly dependent on thecharacteristics of each particular problem [34] the sensitivityanalysis on the GA parameters was performed and the op-timum values were studied Utilization of the obtained valuesfor the GA parameters resulted in improving the quality of thesolutions and the performance of the algorithm As is shownin Table 5 during the sensitivity analysis the crossover andmutation probabilities were iterated and the GA results werecompared for the El Centro earthquake excitation

e results were then sorted using the NSGA functionand the pareto fronts were obtained as shown in Table 6Considering the first pareto set in this table the resultantoptimum values for crossover and mutation probabilitieswere 07 and 02 respectively

As a result the parameters of the NSGA-II were con-sidered as they are shown in Table 7 e sufficiency of 500generations as the limit for the number of generations wasthen evaluated as shown in Figure 10

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

were the first of these techniques to be implementedConsiderable research has focused on the passive controllersystems and they are already utilized in many countries[2 3] As these systems need no external power supply theyare easier to implement and design when compared to otheradvanced controllers In structural control problems TMDshave been successfully implemented in different structuressuch as bridges [4 5] and buildings [6ndash11] to reduceearthquake- and wind-induced vibrations Observations ofTMDs show that they can effectively reduce vibrations instructures that are excited by high winds high-speed trainsand traffic loads and also help decrease the discomfort of theinhabitants during minor earthquakes [5 12 13] Underearthquake excitations the literature shows that the per-formance of the TMDs decreases as the duration of exci-tation shortens erefore the TMDs are more effective forstructures subjected to narrowband long-duration far-fault(FF) excitations compared to pulse-like near-fault (NF)ground motions As single TMD systems can be tuned to aparticular frequency they are very sensitive to mistuningand uncertainties As a solution multiple tuned massdampers (MTMDs) were first introduced by Xu et al in 1990[14] after which they have been studied in several researchstudies [8 9 11 15ndash19] Li and Qu [20] considered thestructure as a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systemwhen connected to multiple TMDs and studied the opti-mum design parameters for those TMDs With respect tousingMTMD systems inmultistory buildings Chen andWu[8] studied the efficiency of using multiple TMDs in miti-gating the seismic responses in a six-story building Afterthat Sakr [15] used partial floor loads as MTMDs eseresearch studies show that the MTMD systems cover a widerfrequency range and are less sensitive to the uncertainties ofthe system

In addition to multistory buildings several tall buildingshave benefited from the utilization of TMDs in controllingtheir vibrations (see Figure 1)

As has been shown most of them are equipped with asingle TMD which is placed on the top level of the buildinge studies also showed that using a single TMD on the toplevels of the tall buildings can effectively reduce wind-in-duced motions [22 23] is is because the structures re-spond to the wind excitation with respect to their firststructural mode in which the top levels of the building havemaximum modal displacement erefore placing a singleTMD on the top level with a tuning frequency closer to thefundamental structural frequency can efficiently reduce thestructural responses In another research Elias andMatsagar[9] studied the use of distributed MTMD systems in re-ducing wind-induced vibrations in a tall building eyconcluded that the distributedMTMDs aremore effective ascompared to a single TMD system and an MTMD system inwhich all the TMDs are placed on the top level

e research studies show that TMDs are also effective inmitigating earthquake vibrations in buildings Arfiadi andHadi [6] used a hybrid genetic algorithm method to find theoptimum properties and the location of a TMD for a 10-story building under earthquake excitation In another re-search Pourzeinali et al [24] utilized multiobjective

optimization to outline the design parameters of a TMD in a12-story building under earthquake excitation Li [11]proposed a novel optimum criterion to optimize theproperties of double TMDs for structures under groundacceleration In another research Elias et al studied theeffectiveness of a distributed TMD system in vibrationcontrol of a chimney [25] e research developments inpassive control of structures using TMDs are summarized byElias and Matsagar [26]

In all the research studies about tall buildings cited hereeither the parameters of the TMDs have mainly been studiedunder wind-induced vibrations or a single TMD has beenstudied under earthquake excitation currently studying theoptimum parameters of TMDs under earthquake excitationwithout limiting the number and location of TMDs is still achallenging task because of the stochastic nature of theearthquakes and the complex seismic behavior of suchbuildings which mandate extensive and thorough studies

Additionally in contrast to the wind loads duringearthquakes the higher modes may have more noticeableparticipation in the total response of tall buildings is ismainly because of the (1) low frequency of the higher modesin these structures compared to low- and midrise buildingsand (2) wide frequency content of the earthquakes that mayactivate multiple modes in such buildings erefore onlycontrolling the lower modes by placing TMDs on the toplevels would not necessarily lead to the optimum solution forcontrolling the motions in these buildings duringearthquakes

11 ProblemDefinition is paper addresses the mentionedissues by studying the optimum placement and properties ofTMDs in a 76-story benchmark building as the case studywhich is subjected to seven scaled earthquake excitationse variables of the resultant optimization problem includethe positions and properties of the TMD e goal of theoptimization is to reduce the controlled-to-uncontrolledratio of the displacement velocity and acceleration seismicresponses In order to solve such multiobjective optimiza-tion problem an improved revision of the nondominatedsorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is developed andutilized

In each loop the algorithm generates an arrangementand properties of the TMDs using the NSGA-II method andsends them to the analyzer module to determine the re-sponses of the building equipped with such a TMD ar-rangement under different earthquake excitations Based onthe responses the algorithm assigns a fitness value for suchTMD arrangements e fitness value is an index that showshow good or bad the obtained responses are e NSGA-IIthen utilizes a refined history of the TMD arrangements andcorresponding fitness values for its next suggestion in thenext loop In this study the algorithm was allowed to spendan applicable mass in a single TMD or distribute it throughmultiple TMDs over the height of the building

optimization problems First the issues with a single TMDsystem in controlling tall buildings are addressed and im-provements are proposed by studying multimode control viadistribution of the TMDs over the height of the buildingLikewise it investigates how the frequency content of theearthquake can aect the optimum position and propertiesof the TMDs Moreover the performance of the NSGA-IIalgorithm is enhanced by adding multivariant genetic op-erations and the resulting algorithms are presented Finallythe optimum hyperparameters of the genetic algorithm fortackling similar problems are proposed by performingsensitivity analysis

3 The Fast and Elitist Multiobjective GeneticAlgorithm NSGA-II

31 Introduction In this paper the NSGA-II method [28] isutilized to investigate the optimum arrangement andproperties of TMDs in a tall building NSGA-II is a non-domination-based genetic algorithm invented for multi-objective optimization problems In this method the initialpopulation is randomly generated as in a normal GAprocedure and then the algorithm sorts the population withrespect to the nondomination rank and the crowdingdistance

In general X dominates Y if X is no worse than Y in allthe objectives and if X is better than Y in at least oneobjective

Among the nondominated solutions or a union of therst ranks of nondominated solutions NSGA-II seeks abroad coverage shyis will be achieved by crowding distancewhich is the Manhattan distance between the left and rightneighboring solutions for two objectives

32 Repair shye repair method makes infeasible solutionsfeasible Figure 2 schematically shows the repair approachfor a solution space with an infeasible solution and twosolutions in the feasible region In this research an infeasiblesolution includes the out-of-limit properties for TMDs As isshown the repair function would project each of theseinfeasible solutions to the closest feasible solution shyedeveloped repair function calculates the shortest distance ofthe TMD properties (m0 β andψ) in the infeasible solutionand corrects the chromosome with respect to the calculateddistance (see Algorithm 1)

33 Selection shye objective of selection is to choose the tterindividuals in the population to create osprings for the nextgeneration and then place them in a group commonly

known as the mating poolshyemating pool is then subjectedto further genetic operations that result in advancing thepopulation to the next generation and hopefully closer to theoptimal solution In this research the roulette wheel se-lection method was utilized for developing the selectorfunction As is also shown in Algorithm 2 the algorithmselects the individuals based on a probability proportional tothe tness As is schematically illustrated in Figure 3 theprinciple of roulette selection is a linear search through aroulette wheel with the slots in the wheel weighted inproportion to the individualrsquos tness values All the chro-mosomes (individuals) in the population are placed on theroulette wheel according to their tness value [30] In thisalgorithm a probability value is assigned to each individualin the population Based on these probabilities the ranges [01] are divided between the individuals so that each indi-vidual obtains a unique range shye winning individual isthen selected by generating a random number between zeroand one and nding the individual whose range includes thisrandom number

In this algorithm the ADDRANGE function assigns arange to each individual based on their tness value andtheir position on the wheel and the RND(1) function gen-erates a random value between zero and one

34 Optimization Variables In this study three variableswere dened to be optimized by the NSGA As is sche-matically shown in Figure 4 the variables are as follows

After developing the genes for each TMD the chro-mosomes are then created by combining all genes for eachsolution As a result each chromosome contains the codeddata of all TMDs in the building Using this definition theposition of each TMD is represented by the position of therelated genes in the chromosome

36 Genetic Operators

361 Crossover Function In the crossover operation twoselected parents exchange random parts of their chromo-some to create new offsprings An appropriate strategy forselecting locations of the split points and the length of thetransferred genes depends on the problem characteristicsthat highly affect the performance of the algorithm and thequality of the final results

In this regard different alternatives have been studied inthis research to develop an appropriate crossover functionExamples of crossover operation forms that have beenutilized in other research studies but were not appropriatefor this research are discussed as follows

(1) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in WholeChromosome In the initial steps a completely random se-lection of the genes for crossover has been considered as acommonly used crossover function In this crossover typeafter the parents are nominated by the algorithm one or kpoints in the chromosome are randomly selected and thenew offsprings are created by splitting and combining theparentsrsquo chromosomes at the selected points is processhas often resulted in producing too many meaningless andlow-quality offsprings consequently reducing the perfor-mance of the algorithm dramatically Examples of mean-ingless offsprings can include TMDs without one or moreproperties (eg without mass or stiffness)

(2) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in TMD GenesPreventing the production of meaningless offsprings thecrossover function was improved in this study so that the

genes related to the TMDs in each parent could be selectedfor performing a k-point crossover Although the chance ofcreating meaningless offsprings was noticeably reduced theresults showed that the efficiency of the operator in im-proving the results was not acceptable as following thisprocess all the genes within the considered range for a TMDwould be subjected to the same operations regardless of thegenesrsquo positions

For example the genes related to the stiffness of a TMDin a parent were exchanged with those related to thedamping properties in another parent which is not logicalAs a result despite its improvements compared to the firsttype the second crossover type leads to a very low con-vergence rate because of the production of low-qualityoffsprings In addition one possible shortcut for reaching anoptimum solution was missed this step involves attachingthe TMD of one parent to a story in another parent

However the maximum convergence rate obtained bydeveloping a two-variant crossover function is presented inAlgorithm 3 As is shown in this function in each call oneof the two developed crossover variants would be selectedrandomly ese variants are described as follows

(i) Variant 1 in the first variation the crossover op-erator acts on each of the parameters of the TMDsseparately using the k-point crossover methodmeaning that in each call the crossover operatoracts on the stiffness mass or damping of the parentsand exchanges the related properties using thek-point crossover function e produced offspringshave TMDs in the same locations as their parentsbut with different properties Investigation of theperformance of this function showed that this var-iant improves the parameters of the TMDs re-gardless of their positions

(ii) Variant 2 the second crossover variation acts on thelocation of TMDs in the parents e resultantoffsprings include TMDs with the same properties astheir parents but in other stories ese two cross-over variations are demonstrated in Figure 6

362 Mutation Function In the genetic algorithm themutation operator randomly changes one or multiple genesof a parent to produce new offsprings Generally in thebinary coded chromosome the following function is utilizedto change the genes

Binarymutation(gen) 1 if gen value 0

0 if gen value 11113896 (7)

In GA problems the mutation function helps thealgorithm to explore the solution space more broadly andprevents it from sticking to the local minimums In ad-dition a proper mutation function improves the con-vergence speed In this research in order to develop anappropriate mutation function different variants werestudied It is understood that developing the mutationfunction without considering the characteristics ofthe problem would result in producing meaningless

offsprings Keeping this in mind a two-variant mutationfunction was developed which acted on the (1) genesrelated to TMD parameters and (2) group of genes relatedto the location of the TMDs (See Algorithm 4)

37 Fitness Function During the GA procedure each so-lution comprised an arrangement of TMDs with differentparameters In order to evaluate an individual solution threeobjective functions were defined to shape the fitness func-tion e objectives of the optimization were taken to be themaximum ratios of displacement velocity and accelerationresponses in controlled condition to their uncontrolledvalues as follows

In this research the ground motions were selected andscaled using an intensity-based assessment procedureconsidered according to ASCESEI 07-10 In this regardseven earthquakesrsquo real acceleration records were selectedfrom the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center(PEER) NGA strong motion database [31] (see Figure 8) andthen scaled using a design response spectrum [32 33] epeak ground acceleration (PGA) and other seismic pa-rameters of the considered design response spectrum areshown in Table 2

e specifications of the nonscaled and scaled selectedearthquakes are presented in Tables 3 and 4 e spectra ofthe nonscaled and scaled excitations are shown in Figure 9

6 Sensitivity Analysis of GeneticAlgorithm Parameters

As the parameters of GAs are highly dependent on thecharacteristics of each particular problem [34] the sensitivityanalysis on the GA parameters was performed and the op-timum values were studied Utilization of the obtained valuesfor the GA parameters resulted in improving the quality of thesolutions and the performance of the algorithm As is shownin Table 5 during the sensitivity analysis the crossover andmutation probabilities were iterated and the GA results werecompared for the El Centro earthquake excitation

e results were then sorted using the NSGA functionand the pareto fronts were obtained as shown in Table 6Considering the first pareto set in this table the resultantoptimum values for crossover and mutation probabilitieswere 07 and 02 respectively

As a result the parameters of the NSGA-II were con-sidered as they are shown in Table 7 e sufficiency of 500generations as the limit for the number of generations wasthen evaluated as shown in Figure 10

7 Optimization Process

In order to study the optimum arrangement and propertiesof the TMD in the benchmark building a computer codewas developed based on the previously discussed theoriesand functions e pseudocode of the program is presentedin Algorithm 6 In order to improve the performance of thedeveloped code and reduce the computation time someadvanced computer programming techniques such asparallel computing were utilized As a result the codeutilized multiple CPU cores to produce multiple populationsin parallel and then all the populations were combined andsorted in each generation

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

3 The Fast and Elitist Multiobjective GeneticAlgorithm NSGA-II

31 Introduction In this paper the NSGA-II method [28] isutilized to investigate the optimum arrangement andproperties of TMDs in a tall building NSGA-II is a non-domination-based genetic algorithm invented for multi-objective optimization problems In this method the initialpopulation is randomly generated as in a normal GAprocedure and then the algorithm sorts the population withrespect to the nondomination rank and the crowdingdistance

In general X dominates Y if X is no worse than Y in allthe objectives and if X is better than Y in at least oneobjective

Among the nondominated solutions or a union of therst ranks of nondominated solutions NSGA-II seeks abroad coverage shyis will be achieved by crowding distancewhich is the Manhattan distance between the left and rightneighboring solutions for two objectives

32 Repair shye repair method makes infeasible solutionsfeasible Figure 2 schematically shows the repair approachfor a solution space with an infeasible solution and twosolutions in the feasible region In this research an infeasiblesolution includes the out-of-limit properties for TMDs As isshown the repair function would project each of theseinfeasible solutions to the closest feasible solution shyedeveloped repair function calculates the shortest distance ofthe TMD properties (m0 β andψ) in the infeasible solutionand corrects the chromosome with respect to the calculateddistance (see Algorithm 1)

33 Selection shye objective of selection is to choose the tterindividuals in the population to create osprings for the nextgeneration and then place them in a group commonly

known as the mating poolshyemating pool is then subjectedto further genetic operations that result in advancing thepopulation to the next generation and hopefully closer to theoptimal solution In this research the roulette wheel se-lection method was utilized for developing the selectorfunction As is also shown in Algorithm 2 the algorithmselects the individuals based on a probability proportional tothe tness As is schematically illustrated in Figure 3 theprinciple of roulette selection is a linear search through aroulette wheel with the slots in the wheel weighted inproportion to the individualrsquos tness values All the chro-mosomes (individuals) in the population are placed on theroulette wheel according to their tness value [30] In thisalgorithm a probability value is assigned to each individualin the population Based on these probabilities the ranges [01] are divided between the individuals so that each indi-vidual obtains a unique range shye winning individual isthen selected by generating a random number between zeroand one and nding the individual whose range includes thisrandom number

In this algorithm the ADDRANGE function assigns arange to each individual based on their tness value andtheir position on the wheel and the RND(1) function gen-erates a random value between zero and one

34 Optimization Variables In this study three variableswere dened to be optimized by the NSGA As is sche-matically shown in Figure 4 the variables are as follows

considered limit for each TMD shyis allows the GA al-gorithm to either spend the allowable mass in a singleTMD or divide it among multiple TMDs and distributethem over the height of the building As is shown thedamping and the frequency ratio of the TMDs are alsolimited to applicable values

After developing the genes for each TMD the chro-mosomes are then created by combining all genes for eachsolution As a result each chromosome contains the codeddata of all TMDs in the building Using this definition theposition of each TMD is represented by the position of therelated genes in the chromosome

36 Genetic Operators

361 Crossover Function In the crossover operation twoselected parents exchange random parts of their chromo-some to create new offsprings An appropriate strategy forselecting locations of the split points and the length of thetransferred genes depends on the problem characteristicsthat highly affect the performance of the algorithm and thequality of the final results

In this regard different alternatives have been studied inthis research to develop an appropriate crossover functionExamples of crossover operation forms that have beenutilized in other research studies but were not appropriatefor this research are discussed as follows

(1) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in WholeChromosome In the initial steps a completely random se-lection of the genes for crossover has been considered as acommonly used crossover function In this crossover typeafter the parents are nominated by the algorithm one or kpoints in the chromosome are randomly selected and thenew offsprings are created by splitting and combining theparentsrsquo chromosomes at the selected points is processhas often resulted in producing too many meaningless andlow-quality offsprings consequently reducing the perfor-mance of the algorithm dramatically Examples of mean-ingless offsprings can include TMDs without one or moreproperties (eg without mass or stiffness)

(2) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in TMD GenesPreventing the production of meaningless offsprings thecrossover function was improved in this study so that the

genes related to the TMDs in each parent could be selectedfor performing a k-point crossover Although the chance ofcreating meaningless offsprings was noticeably reduced theresults showed that the efficiency of the operator in im-proving the results was not acceptable as following thisprocess all the genes within the considered range for a TMDwould be subjected to the same operations regardless of thegenesrsquo positions

For example the genes related to the stiffness of a TMDin a parent were exchanged with those related to thedamping properties in another parent which is not logicalAs a result despite its improvements compared to the firsttype the second crossover type leads to a very low con-vergence rate because of the production of low-qualityoffsprings In addition one possible shortcut for reaching anoptimum solution was missed this step involves attachingthe TMD of one parent to a story in another parent

However the maximum convergence rate obtained bydeveloping a two-variant crossover function is presented inAlgorithm 3 As is shown in this function in each call oneof the two developed crossover variants would be selectedrandomly ese variants are described as follows

(i) Variant 1 in the first variation the crossover op-erator acts on each of the parameters of the TMDsseparately using the k-point crossover methodmeaning that in each call the crossover operatoracts on the stiffness mass or damping of the parentsand exchanges the related properties using thek-point crossover function e produced offspringshave TMDs in the same locations as their parentsbut with different properties Investigation of theperformance of this function showed that this var-iant improves the parameters of the TMDs re-gardless of their positions

(ii) Variant 2 the second crossover variation acts on thelocation of TMDs in the parents e resultantoffsprings include TMDs with the same properties astheir parents but in other stories ese two cross-over variations are demonstrated in Figure 6

362 Mutation Function In the genetic algorithm themutation operator randomly changes one or multiple genesof a parent to produce new offsprings Generally in thebinary coded chromosome the following function is utilizedto change the genes

Binarymutation(gen) 1 if gen value 0

0 if gen value 11113896 (7)

In GA problems the mutation function helps thealgorithm to explore the solution space more broadly andprevents it from sticking to the local minimums In ad-dition a proper mutation function improves the con-vergence speed In this research in order to develop anappropriate mutation function different variants werestudied It is understood that developing the mutationfunction without considering the characteristics ofthe problem would result in producing meaningless

offsprings Keeping this in mind a two-variant mutationfunction was developed which acted on the (1) genesrelated to TMD parameters and (2) group of genes relatedto the location of the TMDs (See Algorithm 4)

37 Fitness Function During the GA procedure each so-lution comprised an arrangement of TMDs with differentparameters In order to evaluate an individual solution threeobjective functions were defined to shape the fitness func-tion e objectives of the optimization were taken to be themaximum ratios of displacement velocity and accelerationresponses in controlled condition to their uncontrolledvalues as follows

4 Benchmark Building

As a case study a 76-story 306m tall official buildingconsisting of the concrete core and concrete frames wasconsidered e total mass of the building was 153000tonnes e initial mathematical model of the building in-cluded 76 transitional and 76 rotational degrees of freedomin which the rotational degrees of freedom were then re-moved by the static condensation method to create a 76-

degree-of-freedom model e damping matrix of thebuilding was calculated by considering a 1 damping ratiofor the first five modes using Rayleighrsquos approach

e first five natural frequencies of the building were016 0765 1992 379 and 639Hz e first five modeshapes of the building are presented in Figure 7

5 Ground Motion Selection

In this research the ground motions were selected andscaled using an intensity-based assessment procedureconsidered according to ASCESEI 07-10 In this regardseven earthquakesrsquo real acceleration records were selectedfrom the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center(PEER) NGA strong motion database [31] (see Figure 8) andthen scaled using a design response spectrum [32 33] epeak ground acceleration (PGA) and other seismic pa-rameters of the considered design response spectrum areshown in Table 2

e specifications of the nonscaled and scaled selectedearthquakes are presented in Tables 3 and 4 e spectra ofthe nonscaled and scaled excitations are shown in Figure 9

6 Sensitivity Analysis of GeneticAlgorithm Parameters

As the parameters of GAs are highly dependent on thecharacteristics of each particular problem [34] the sensitivityanalysis on the GA parameters was performed and the op-timum values were studied Utilization of the obtained valuesfor the GA parameters resulted in improving the quality of thesolutions and the performance of the algorithm As is shownin Table 5 during the sensitivity analysis the crossover andmutation probabilities were iterated and the GA results werecompared for the El Centro earthquake excitation

e results were then sorted using the NSGA functionand the pareto fronts were obtained as shown in Table 6Considering the first pareto set in this table the resultantoptimum values for crossover and mutation probabilitieswere 07 and 02 respectively

As a result the parameters of the NSGA-II were con-sidered as they are shown in Table 7 e sufficiency of 500generations as the limit for the number of generations wasthen evaluated as shown in Figure 10

7 Optimization Process

In order to study the optimum arrangement and propertiesof the TMD in the benchmark building a computer codewas developed based on the previously discussed theoriesand functions e pseudocode of the program is presentedin Algorithm 6 In order to improve the performance of thedeveloped code and reduce the computation time someadvanced computer programming techniques such asparallel computing were utilized As a result the codeutilized multiple CPU cores to produce multiple populationsin parallel and then all the populations were combined andsorted in each generation

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

where the parameters m0 β and ψ refer to mass frequencyand damping ratios while the indexes t and st indicate theTMD and the structural properties

3 The Fast and Elitist Multiobjective GeneticAlgorithm NSGA-II

31 Introduction In this paper the NSGA-II method [28] isutilized to investigate the optimum arrangement andproperties of TMDs in a tall building NSGA-II is a non-domination-based genetic algorithm invented for multi-objective optimization problems In this method the initialpopulation is randomly generated as in a normal GAprocedure and then the algorithm sorts the population withrespect to the nondomination rank and the crowdingdistance

In general X dominates Y if X is no worse than Y in allthe objectives and if X is better than Y in at least oneobjective

Among the nondominated solutions or a union of therst ranks of nondominated solutions NSGA-II seeks abroad coverage shyis will be achieved by crowding distancewhich is the Manhattan distance between the left and rightneighboring solutions for two objectives

32 Repair shye repair method makes infeasible solutionsfeasible Figure 2 schematically shows the repair approachfor a solution space with an infeasible solution and twosolutions in the feasible region In this research an infeasiblesolution includes the out-of-limit properties for TMDs As isshown the repair function would project each of theseinfeasible solutions to the closest feasible solution shyedeveloped repair function calculates the shortest distance ofthe TMD properties (m0 β andψ) in the infeasible solutionand corrects the chromosome with respect to the calculateddistance (see Algorithm 1)

33 Selection shye objective of selection is to choose the tterindividuals in the population to create osprings for the nextgeneration and then place them in a group commonly

known as the mating poolshyemating pool is then subjectedto further genetic operations that result in advancing thepopulation to the next generation and hopefully closer to theoptimal solution In this research the roulette wheel se-lection method was utilized for developing the selectorfunction As is also shown in Algorithm 2 the algorithmselects the individuals based on a probability proportional tothe tness As is schematically illustrated in Figure 3 theprinciple of roulette selection is a linear search through aroulette wheel with the slots in the wheel weighted inproportion to the individualrsquos tness values All the chro-mosomes (individuals) in the population are placed on theroulette wheel according to their tness value [30] In thisalgorithm a probability value is assigned to each individualin the population Based on these probabilities the ranges [01] are divided between the individuals so that each indi-vidual obtains a unique range shye winning individual isthen selected by generating a random number between zeroand one and nding the individual whose range includes thisrandom number

In this algorithm the ADDRANGE function assigns arange to each individual based on their tness value andtheir position on the wheel and the RND(1) function gen-erates a random value between zero and one

34 Optimization Variables In this study three variableswere dened to be optimized by the NSGA As is sche-matically shown in Figure 4 the variables are as follows

considered limit for each TMD shyis allows the GA al-gorithm to either spend the allowable mass in a singleTMD or divide it among multiple TMDs and distributethem over the height of the building As is shown thedamping and the frequency ratio of the TMDs are alsolimited to applicable values

After developing the genes for each TMD the chro-mosomes are then created by combining all genes for eachsolution As a result each chromosome contains the codeddata of all TMDs in the building Using this definition theposition of each TMD is represented by the position of therelated genes in the chromosome

36 Genetic Operators

361 Crossover Function In the crossover operation twoselected parents exchange random parts of their chromo-some to create new offsprings An appropriate strategy forselecting locations of the split points and the length of thetransferred genes depends on the problem characteristicsthat highly affect the performance of the algorithm and thequality of the final results

In this regard different alternatives have been studied inthis research to develop an appropriate crossover functionExamples of crossover operation forms that have beenutilized in other research studies but were not appropriatefor this research are discussed as follows

(1) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in WholeChromosome In the initial steps a completely random se-lection of the genes for crossover has been considered as acommonly used crossover function In this crossover typeafter the parents are nominated by the algorithm one or kpoints in the chromosome are randomly selected and thenew offsprings are created by splitting and combining theparentsrsquo chromosomes at the selected points is processhas often resulted in producing too many meaningless andlow-quality offsprings consequently reducing the perfor-mance of the algorithm dramatically Examples of mean-ingless offsprings can include TMDs without one or moreproperties (eg without mass or stiffness)

(2) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in TMD GenesPreventing the production of meaningless offsprings thecrossover function was improved in this study so that the

genes related to the TMDs in each parent could be selectedfor performing a k-point crossover Although the chance ofcreating meaningless offsprings was noticeably reduced theresults showed that the efficiency of the operator in im-proving the results was not acceptable as following thisprocess all the genes within the considered range for a TMDwould be subjected to the same operations regardless of thegenesrsquo positions

For example the genes related to the stiffness of a TMDin a parent were exchanged with those related to thedamping properties in another parent which is not logicalAs a result despite its improvements compared to the firsttype the second crossover type leads to a very low con-vergence rate because of the production of low-qualityoffsprings In addition one possible shortcut for reaching anoptimum solution was missed this step involves attachingthe TMD of one parent to a story in another parent

However the maximum convergence rate obtained bydeveloping a two-variant crossover function is presented inAlgorithm 3 As is shown in this function in each call oneof the two developed crossover variants would be selectedrandomly ese variants are described as follows

(i) Variant 1 in the first variation the crossover op-erator acts on each of the parameters of the TMDsseparately using the k-point crossover methodmeaning that in each call the crossover operatoracts on the stiffness mass or damping of the parentsand exchanges the related properties using thek-point crossover function e produced offspringshave TMDs in the same locations as their parentsbut with different properties Investigation of theperformance of this function showed that this var-iant improves the parameters of the TMDs re-gardless of their positions

(ii) Variant 2 the second crossover variation acts on thelocation of TMDs in the parents e resultantoffsprings include TMDs with the same properties astheir parents but in other stories ese two cross-over variations are demonstrated in Figure 6

362 Mutation Function In the genetic algorithm themutation operator randomly changes one or multiple genesof a parent to produce new offsprings Generally in thebinary coded chromosome the following function is utilizedto change the genes

Binarymutation(gen) 1 if gen value 0

0 if gen value 11113896 (7)

In GA problems the mutation function helps thealgorithm to explore the solution space more broadly andprevents it from sticking to the local minimums In ad-dition a proper mutation function improves the con-vergence speed In this research in order to develop anappropriate mutation function different variants werestudied It is understood that developing the mutationfunction without considering the characteristics ofthe problem would result in producing meaningless

offsprings Keeping this in mind a two-variant mutationfunction was developed which acted on the (1) genesrelated to TMD parameters and (2) group of genes relatedto the location of the TMDs (See Algorithm 4)

37 Fitness Function During the GA procedure each so-lution comprised an arrangement of TMDs with differentparameters In order to evaluate an individual solution threeobjective functions were defined to shape the fitness func-tion e objectives of the optimization were taken to be themaximum ratios of displacement velocity and accelerationresponses in controlled condition to their uncontrolledvalues as follows

4 Benchmark Building

As a case study a 76-story 306m tall official buildingconsisting of the concrete core and concrete frames wasconsidered e total mass of the building was 153000tonnes e initial mathematical model of the building in-cluded 76 transitional and 76 rotational degrees of freedomin which the rotational degrees of freedom were then re-moved by the static condensation method to create a 76-

degree-of-freedom model e damping matrix of thebuilding was calculated by considering a 1 damping ratiofor the first five modes using Rayleighrsquos approach

e first five natural frequencies of the building were016 0765 1992 379 and 639Hz e first five modeshapes of the building are presented in Figure 7

5 Ground Motion Selection

In this research the ground motions were selected andscaled using an intensity-based assessment procedureconsidered according to ASCESEI 07-10 In this regardseven earthquakesrsquo real acceleration records were selectedfrom the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center(PEER) NGA strong motion database [31] (see Figure 8) andthen scaled using a design response spectrum [32 33] epeak ground acceleration (PGA) and other seismic pa-rameters of the considered design response spectrum areshown in Table 2

e specifications of the nonscaled and scaled selectedearthquakes are presented in Tables 3 and 4 e spectra ofthe nonscaled and scaled excitations are shown in Figure 9

6 Sensitivity Analysis of GeneticAlgorithm Parameters

As the parameters of GAs are highly dependent on thecharacteristics of each particular problem [34] the sensitivityanalysis on the GA parameters was performed and the op-timum values were studied Utilization of the obtained valuesfor the GA parameters resulted in improving the quality of thesolutions and the performance of the algorithm As is shownin Table 5 during the sensitivity analysis the crossover andmutation probabilities were iterated and the GA results werecompared for the El Centro earthquake excitation

e results were then sorted using the NSGA functionand the pareto fronts were obtained as shown in Table 6Considering the first pareto set in this table the resultantoptimum values for crossover and mutation probabilitieswere 07 and 02 respectively

As a result the parameters of the NSGA-II were con-sidered as they are shown in Table 7 e sufficiency of 500generations as the limit for the number of generations wasthen evaluated as shown in Figure 10

7 Optimization Process

In order to study the optimum arrangement and propertiesof the TMD in the benchmark building a computer codewas developed based on the previously discussed theoriesand functions e pseudocode of the program is presentedin Algorithm 6 In order to improve the performance of thedeveloped code and reduce the computation time someadvanced computer programming techniques such asparallel computing were utilized As a result the codeutilized multiple CPU cores to produce multiple populationsin parallel and then all the populations were combined andsorted in each generation

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

After developing the genes for each TMD the chro-mosomes are then created by combining all genes for eachsolution As a result each chromosome contains the codeddata of all TMDs in the building Using this definition theposition of each TMD is represented by the position of therelated genes in the chromosome

36 Genetic Operators

361 Crossover Function In the crossover operation twoselected parents exchange random parts of their chromo-some to create new offsprings An appropriate strategy forselecting locations of the split points and the length of thetransferred genes depends on the problem characteristicsthat highly affect the performance of the algorithm and thequality of the final results

In this regard different alternatives have been studied inthis research to develop an appropriate crossover functionExamples of crossover operation forms that have beenutilized in other research studies but were not appropriatefor this research are discussed as follows

(1) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in WholeChromosome In the initial steps a completely random se-lection of the genes for crossover has been considered as acommonly used crossover function In this crossover typeafter the parents are nominated by the algorithm one or kpoints in the chromosome are randomly selected and thenew offsprings are created by splitting and combining theparentsrsquo chromosomes at the selected points is processhas often resulted in producing too many meaningless andlow-quality offsprings consequently reducing the perfor-mance of the algorithm dramatically Examples of mean-ingless offsprings can include TMDs without one or moreproperties (eg without mass or stiffness)

(2) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in TMD GenesPreventing the production of meaningless offsprings thecrossover function was improved in this study so that the

genes related to the TMDs in each parent could be selectedfor performing a k-point crossover Although the chance ofcreating meaningless offsprings was noticeably reduced theresults showed that the efficiency of the operator in im-proving the results was not acceptable as following thisprocess all the genes within the considered range for a TMDwould be subjected to the same operations regardless of thegenesrsquo positions

For example the genes related to the stiffness of a TMDin a parent were exchanged with those related to thedamping properties in another parent which is not logicalAs a result despite its improvements compared to the firsttype the second crossover type leads to a very low con-vergence rate because of the production of low-qualityoffsprings In addition one possible shortcut for reaching anoptimum solution was missed this step involves attachingthe TMD of one parent to a story in another parent

However the maximum convergence rate obtained bydeveloping a two-variant crossover function is presented inAlgorithm 3 As is shown in this function in each call oneof the two developed crossover variants would be selectedrandomly ese variants are described as follows

(i) Variant 1 in the first variation the crossover op-erator acts on each of the parameters of the TMDsseparately using the k-point crossover methodmeaning that in each call the crossover operatoracts on the stiffness mass or damping of the parentsand exchanges the related properties using thek-point crossover function e produced offspringshave TMDs in the same locations as their parentsbut with different properties Investigation of theperformance of this function showed that this var-iant improves the parameters of the TMDs re-gardless of their positions

(ii) Variant 2 the second crossover variation acts on thelocation of TMDs in the parents e resultantoffsprings include TMDs with the same properties astheir parents but in other stories ese two cross-over variations are demonstrated in Figure 6

362 Mutation Function In the genetic algorithm themutation operator randomly changes one or multiple genesof a parent to produce new offsprings Generally in thebinary coded chromosome the following function is utilizedto change the genes

Binarymutation(gen) 1 if gen value 0

0 if gen value 11113896 (7)

In GA problems the mutation function helps thealgorithm to explore the solution space more broadly andprevents it from sticking to the local minimums In ad-dition a proper mutation function improves the con-vergence speed In this research in order to develop anappropriate mutation function different variants werestudied It is understood that developing the mutationfunction without considering the characteristics ofthe problem would result in producing meaningless

offsprings Keeping this in mind a two-variant mutationfunction was developed which acted on the (1) genesrelated to TMD parameters and (2) group of genes relatedto the location of the TMDs (See Algorithm 4)

37 Fitness Function During the GA procedure each so-lution comprised an arrangement of TMDs with differentparameters In order to evaluate an individual solution threeobjective functions were defined to shape the fitness func-tion e objectives of the optimization were taken to be themaximum ratios of displacement velocity and accelerationresponses in controlled condition to their uncontrolledvalues as follows

4 Benchmark Building

As a case study a 76-story 306m tall official buildingconsisting of the concrete core and concrete frames wasconsidered e total mass of the building was 153000tonnes e initial mathematical model of the building in-cluded 76 transitional and 76 rotational degrees of freedomin which the rotational degrees of freedom were then re-moved by the static condensation method to create a 76-

degree-of-freedom model e damping matrix of thebuilding was calculated by considering a 1 damping ratiofor the first five modes using Rayleighrsquos approach

e first five natural frequencies of the building were016 0765 1992 379 and 639Hz e first five modeshapes of the building are presented in Figure 7

5 Ground Motion Selection

In this research the ground motions were selected andscaled using an intensity-based assessment procedureconsidered according to ASCESEI 07-10 In this regardseven earthquakesrsquo real acceleration records were selectedfrom the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center(PEER) NGA strong motion database [31] (see Figure 8) andthen scaled using a design response spectrum [32 33] epeak ground acceleration (PGA) and other seismic pa-rameters of the considered design response spectrum areshown in Table 2

e specifications of the nonscaled and scaled selectedearthquakes are presented in Tables 3 and 4 e spectra ofthe nonscaled and scaled excitations are shown in Figure 9

6 Sensitivity Analysis of GeneticAlgorithm Parameters

As the parameters of GAs are highly dependent on thecharacteristics of each particular problem [34] the sensitivityanalysis on the GA parameters was performed and the op-timum values were studied Utilization of the obtained valuesfor the GA parameters resulted in improving the quality of thesolutions and the performance of the algorithm As is shownin Table 5 during the sensitivity analysis the crossover andmutation probabilities were iterated and the GA results werecompared for the El Centro earthquake excitation

e results were then sorted using the NSGA functionand the pareto fronts were obtained as shown in Table 6Considering the first pareto set in this table the resultantoptimum values for crossover and mutation probabilitieswere 07 and 02 respectively

As a result the parameters of the NSGA-II were con-sidered as they are shown in Table 7 e sufficiency of 500generations as the limit for the number of generations wasthen evaluated as shown in Figure 10

7 Optimization Process

In order to study the optimum arrangement and propertiesof the TMD in the benchmark building a computer codewas developed based on the previously discussed theoriesand functions e pseudocode of the program is presentedin Algorithm 6 In order to improve the performance of thedeveloped code and reduce the computation time someadvanced computer programming techniques such asparallel computing were utilized As a result the codeutilized multiple CPU cores to produce multiple populationsin parallel and then all the populations were combined andsorted in each generation

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

After developing the genes for each TMD the chro-mosomes are then created by combining all genes for eachsolution As a result each chromosome contains the codeddata of all TMDs in the building Using this definition theposition of each TMD is represented by the position of therelated genes in the chromosome

361 Crossover Function In the crossover operation twoselected parents exchange random parts of their chromo-some to create new offsprings An appropriate strategy forselecting locations of the split points and the length of thetransferred genes depends on the problem characteristicsthat highly affect the performance of the algorithm and thequality of the final results

In this regard different alternatives have been studied inthis research to develop an appropriate crossover functionExamples of crossover operation forms that have beenutilized in other research studies but were not appropriatefor this research are discussed as follows

(1) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in WholeChromosome In the initial steps a completely random se-lection of the genes for crossover has been considered as acommonly used crossover function In this crossover typeafter the parents are nominated by the algorithm one or kpoints in the chromosome are randomly selected and thenew offsprings are created by splitting and combining theparentsrsquo chromosomes at the selected points is processhas often resulted in producing too many meaningless andlow-quality offsprings consequently reducing the perfor-mance of the algorithm dramatically Examples of mean-ingless offsprings can include TMDs without one or moreproperties (eg without mass or stiffness)

(2) Singlek-Point Crossover Random Points in TMD GenesPreventing the production of meaningless offsprings thecrossover function was improved in this study so that the

genes related to the TMDs in each parent could be selectedfor performing a k-point crossover Although the chance ofcreating meaningless offsprings was noticeably reduced theresults showed that the efficiency of the operator in im-proving the results was not acceptable as following thisprocess all the genes within the considered range for a TMDwould be subjected to the same operations regardless of thegenesrsquo positions

For example the genes related to the stiffness of a TMDin a parent were exchanged with those related to thedamping properties in another parent which is not logicalAs a result despite its improvements compared to the firsttype the second crossover type leads to a very low con-vergence rate because of the production of low-qualityoffsprings In addition one possible shortcut for reaching anoptimum solution was missed this step involves attachingthe TMD of one parent to a story in another parent

However the maximum convergence rate obtained bydeveloping a two-variant crossover function is presented inAlgorithm 3 As is shown in this function in each call oneof the two developed crossover variants would be selectedrandomly ese variants are described as follows

(i) Variant 1 in the first variation the crossover op-erator acts on each of the parameters of the TMDsseparately using the k-point crossover methodmeaning that in each call the crossover operatoracts on the stiffness mass or damping of the parentsand exchanges the related properties using thek-point crossover function e produced offspringshave TMDs in the same locations as their parentsbut with different properties Investigation of theperformance of this function showed that this var-iant improves the parameters of the TMDs re-gardless of their positions

(ii) Variant 2 the second crossover variation acts on thelocation of TMDs in the parents e resultantoffsprings include TMDs with the same properties astheir parents but in other stories ese two cross-over variations are demonstrated in Figure 6

362 Mutation Function In the genetic algorithm themutation operator randomly changes one or multiple genesof a parent to produce new offsprings Generally in thebinary coded chromosome the following function is utilizedto change the genes

Binarymutation(gen) 1 if gen value 0

0 if gen value 11113896 (7)

In GA problems the mutation function helps thealgorithm to explore the solution space more broadly andprevents it from sticking to the local minimums In ad-dition a proper mutation function improves the con-vergence speed In this research in order to develop anappropriate mutation function different variants werestudied It is understood that developing the mutationfunction without considering the characteristics ofthe problem would result in producing meaningless

4 Benchmark Building

As a case study a 76-story 306m tall official buildingconsisting of the concrete core and concrete frames wasconsidered e total mass of the building was 153000tonnes e initial mathematical model of the building in-cluded 76 transitional and 76 rotational degrees of freedomin which the rotational degrees of freedom were then re-moved by the static condensation method to create a 76-

degree-of-freedom model e damping matrix of thebuilding was calculated by considering a 1 damping ratiofor the first five modes using Rayleighrsquos approach

e first five natural frequencies of the building were016 0765 1992 379 and 639Hz e first five modeshapes of the building are presented in Figure 7

5 Ground Motion Selection

In this research the ground motions were selected andscaled using an intensity-based assessment procedureconsidered according to ASCESEI 07-10 In this regardseven earthquakesrsquo real acceleration records were selectedfrom the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center(PEER) NGA strong motion database [31] (see Figure 8) andthen scaled using a design response spectrum [32 33] epeak ground acceleration (PGA) and other seismic pa-rameters of the considered design response spectrum areshown in Table 2

e specifications of the nonscaled and scaled selectedearthquakes are presented in Tables 3 and 4 e spectra ofthe nonscaled and scaled excitations are shown in Figure 9

6 Sensitivity Analysis of GeneticAlgorithm Parameters

As the parameters of GAs are highly dependent on thecharacteristics of each particular problem [34] the sensitivityanalysis on the GA parameters was performed and the op-timum values were studied Utilization of the obtained valuesfor the GA parameters resulted in improving the quality of thesolutions and the performance of the algorithm As is shownin Table 5 during the sensitivity analysis the crossover andmutation probabilities were iterated and the GA results werecompared for the El Centro earthquake excitation

e results were then sorted using the NSGA functionand the pareto fronts were obtained as shown in Table 6Considering the first pareto set in this table the resultantoptimum values for crossover and mutation probabilitieswere 07 and 02 respectively

As a result the parameters of the NSGA-II were con-sidered as they are shown in Table 7 e sufficiency of 500generations as the limit for the number of generations wasthen evaluated as shown in Figure 10

7 Optimization Process

In order to study the optimum arrangement and propertiesof the TMD in the benchmark building a computer codewas developed based on the previously discussed theoriesand functions e pseudocode of the program is presentedin Algorithm 6 In order to improve the performance of thedeveloped code and reduce the computation time someadvanced computer programming techniques such asparallel computing were utilized As a result the codeutilized multiple CPU cores to produce multiple populationsin parallel and then all the populations were combined andsorted in each generation

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

offsprings Keeping this in mind a two-variant mutationfunction was developed which acted on the (1) genesrelated to TMD parameters and (2) group of genes relatedto the location of the TMDs (See Algorithm 4)

37 Fitness Function During the GA procedure each so-lution comprised an arrangement of TMDs with differentparameters In order to evaluate an individual solution threeobjective functions were defined to shape the fitness func-tion e objectives of the optimization were taken to be themaximum ratios of displacement velocity and accelerationresponses in controlled condition to their uncontrolledvalues as follows

where i is the story number andN is the number of stories inthe building e pseudocode of the developed fitnessfunction is presented in Algorithm 5

4 Benchmark Building

As a case study a 76-story 306m tall official buildingconsisting of the concrete core and concrete frames wasconsidered e total mass of the building was 153000tonnes e initial mathematical model of the building in-cluded 76 transitional and 76 rotational degrees of freedomin which the rotational degrees of freedom were then re-moved by the static condensation method to create a 76-

degree-of-freedom model e damping matrix of thebuilding was calculated by considering a 1 damping ratiofor the first five modes using Rayleighrsquos approach

e first five natural frequencies of the building were016 0765 1992 379 and 639Hz e first five modeshapes of the building are presented in Figure 7

5 Ground Motion Selection

In this research the ground motions were selected andscaled using an intensity-based assessment procedureconsidered according to ASCESEI 07-10 In this regardseven earthquakesrsquo real acceleration records were selectedfrom the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center(PEER) NGA strong motion database [31] (see Figure 8) andthen scaled using a design response spectrum [32 33] epeak ground acceleration (PGA) and other seismic pa-rameters of the considered design response spectrum areshown in Table 2

e specifications of the nonscaled and scaled selectedearthquakes are presented in Tables 3 and 4 e spectra ofthe nonscaled and scaled excitations are shown in Figure 9

6 Sensitivity Analysis of GeneticAlgorithm Parameters

As the parameters of GAs are highly dependent on thecharacteristics of each particular problem [34] the sensitivityanalysis on the GA parameters was performed and the op-timum values were studied Utilization of the obtained valuesfor the GA parameters resulted in improving the quality of thesolutions and the performance of the algorithm As is shownin Table 5 during the sensitivity analysis the crossover andmutation probabilities were iterated and the GA results werecompared for the El Centro earthquake excitation

e results were then sorted using the NSGA functionand the pareto fronts were obtained as shown in Table 6Considering the first pareto set in this table the resultantoptimum values for crossover and mutation probabilitieswere 07 and 02 respectively

As a result the parameters of the NSGA-II were con-sidered as they are shown in Table 7 e sufficiency of 500generations as the limit for the number of generations wasthen evaluated as shown in Figure 10

7 Optimization Process

In order to study the optimum arrangement and propertiesof the TMD in the benchmark building a computer codewas developed based on the previously discussed theoriesand functions e pseudocode of the program is presentedin Algorithm 6 In order to improve the performance of thedeveloped code and reduce the computation time someadvanced computer programming techniques such asparallel computing were utilized As a result the codeutilized multiple CPU cores to produce multiple populationsin parallel and then all the populations were combined andsorted in each generation

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(3) shye optimum parameters for the TMDs that controlthe vibrations in the lower modes include themaximum allowed damping ratioshyis indicates thatincreasing the damping ratio would improve theperformance of such TMDs

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

(5) Even in the cases with immediate maximum dis-placement responses the MTMD system signi-cantly improves the damping

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(3) shye optimum parameters for the TMDs that controlthe vibrations in the lower modes include themaximum allowed damping ratioshyis indicates thatincreasing the damping ratio would improve theperformance of such TMDs

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

(5) Even in the cases with immediate maximum dis-placement responses the MTMD system signi-cantly improves the damping

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

and 64th floors in both cases Under both sets of excitationsmost of the mass for the TMDs was dedicated to those on thetop two floors e tuned frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building for the top twoTMDs and about 124 times the fundamental frequency forthe TMD in the 64th-floor building e damping ratio ofthe TMDs placed on the top two stories was close to themaximum allowed value which was 40 while it was about 14for the TMD in the 64th-floor building

It was observed that the controlled displacement re-sponses of the building improved substantially by about 65under the Manjil earthquake excitation On the contrary theobjective J1 for the Bam earthquake had a value of about 095which means to about 5 improvement in reducing max-imum displacements compared to the uncontrolled re-sponse is low objective value was also obtained under theLanders earthquake with a value of about 093 for J1 im-plying 7 improvement in reducing the displacement

responses However the displacement response showssubstantial improvements in damping further oscillationscompared to uncontrolled buildings

For Landers Northridge and San Fernando earth-quakes the TMDs were placed on stories 76 and 74 andmost of the allowed mass was dedicated to the TMD on theroof e optimum tuning frequency of the TMDs was closeto the fundamental frequency of the building e dampingvalues of the TMDs were between 3639 and 3978 whichwere close to the maximum considered damping ratio

For the El Centro and Kobe earthquakes the optimumresults were obtained by placing a single TMD system on theroof In both cases all the allowed mass was utilized in theTMD Under these excitations the frequency ratios of theTMDs were registered as 106 and 105 which indicated atuning frequency closer to the fundamental frequency of thebuilding the damping ratios of the TMDs were 3953 and3978 which were close to the maximum allowed value

9 Discussion

As mentioned in Results the optimum target stories forplacing the TMDs included the top two stories for all of theearthquake excitations and some other stories such as 74 and64 for some of the earthquakes In order to understand thereasons behind this optimum arrangement the buildingrsquosmode shapes are again presented in Figure 18 but in eachmode the stories with maximum displacements are alsomarked As shown for the first three modes the top threestories have the maximum displacements e roof and the75th and 61st stories for the 4th mode and the roof and the75th and 64th stories for the 5th mode were the stories withmaximum modal displacements

Consequently it can be concluded that placing a TMDon the top stories would improve the modal displacementsin all five modes an observation which agrees with theoptimization results

On the contrary for some earthquakes TMDs wereplaced in the lower stories which implies that the optimumplacement of the TMDs may also be related to some exci-tation parameters For this reason fast Fourier trans-formation (FFT) was performed for each earthquakersquosexcitation record and amplitudes for each buildingrsquos modefrequency were then specified to investigate the effectiveproperties of the excitations as shown in Figure 19

As shown here unlike other earthquakes for the Bamand Manjil earthquakes the amplitude of the excitation inthe 4th and 5th modes is more than that in the lower modesAs a result although these higher modes have lower massparticipation factors their participation in the total responseof the earthquake is increased by higher excitation ampli-tudes In order to theoretically study these results thedisplacement response of the building under the groundmotion is presented in equation (9) as sum of the modalnodal displacements

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(3) shye optimum parameters for the TMDs that controlthe vibrations in the lower modes include themaximum allowed damping ratioshyis indicates thatincreasing the damping ratio would improve theperformance of such TMDs

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

Equation (11) is related to a single-degree-of-freedom(SDOF) system with frequency and damping correspondingto the nth mode

As shown here in each mode n the nodal displacementun(t) has a direct relationship with the modal displacementsϕn which means that the stories with maximum modal dis-placements would have greater participation in the buildingrsquosmodal response In addition it is obvious that the modalresponse in the nth mode is also related to the frequency

content of the earthquake excitation euroug which means that alarger acceleration amplitude at that modersquos frequency wouldresult in larger modal responses for that mode

shyerefore the participation of a particular story in thetotal response of the building would be more than that of theother stories if the following conditions are met

(1) shye story has maximum modal displacement in themodes with a larger modal participation factor

(2) shye story has maximum modal displacement in thenth mode with a lower participation factor but theground motion has a larger Fourier transformationamplitude in the nth modersquos frequency (fn)

(3) shye optimum parameters for the TMDs that controlthe vibrations in the lower modes include themaximum allowed damping ratioshyis indicates thatincreasing the damping ratio would improve theperformance of such TMDs

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

(5) Even in the cases with immediate maximum dis-placement responses the MTMD system signi-cantly improves the damping

shyese derivations validate the possibility of placing theTMDs in stories other than the top stories a conclusion thatagrees with the optimization results

10 Conclusion

Considering the obtained results and related discussions inprevious sections the following conclusions can be drawn

(1) Compared to a single TMD on the roof level adistributed MTMD system is more eyencient in im-proving structural responses with the same amount

of masses under excitation for earthquakes that havenoticeable amplitude at the structurersquos frequencies athigher modes a scenario likely to happen within thelifetime of a tall building

(2) shye optimum stories for placement of the TMDsincludes

(a)shye stories withmaximummodal displacementsin the lower structural modes(b) shye stories with maximum modal displace-ments in modes with frequencies at which theearthquake excitation has noticeable amplitudes

(3) shye optimum parameters for the TMDs that controlthe vibrations in the lower modes include themaximum allowed damping ratioshyis indicates thatincreasing the damping ratio would improve theperformance of such TMDs

(4) shye results showed that the performance of theTMDs was not good in reducing the initial maxi-mums in displacement responses compared to theirreduction of the later maximums that occurred aftersome initial oscillations

(5) Even in the cases with immediate maximum dis-placement responses the MTMD system signi-cantly improves the damping
