Abstract

Current trends in construction industry demands taller and lighter structures. These structures are flexible and
constructed as light as possible (as seismic load acts on a structure is a function of self-weight), which have low value of
damping makes them vulnerable to unwanted vibration. This vibration creates problem to serviceability requirement of the
structure and also reduce structural integrity with possibilities of failure. Now-a-days several techniques are available to
reduce wind and earthquake induced structural vibration. Shear wall is an already existing technique and commonly used.
Passive tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely used to control structural vibration under wind load but its effectiveness to
reduce earthquake induced vibration is an emerging technique. Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is to be most effective for
controlling the structural responses for harmonic and wind excitations. This paper reviews on the comparison of using shear
wall and TMD for reducing vibration of tall buildings due to wind and earthquake loading by using SAP2000 software.
