Abstract

This study investigates the performance of a building model equipped with a tuned liquid damper through a series of shaking table tests under varying excitation directions. To assess directional effects, the model was rotated in 15-degree increments from 0° to 180°, while the excitation direction remained fixed. Acceleration and displacement time histories were recorded for each orientation to evaluate the damper’s effectiveness. The results demonstrate that the TLD effectively reduced both accelerations and displacements of the structure. However, its efficiency declined progressively as the excitation angle increased from 0° to 90°.
