Abstract
The constant progress of constructive techniques and civil construction materials, coupled with technological advancement, especially in the field of computational simulations, has allowed the design of increasingly tall and slender structures. These structures presents high flexibility and therefore are vulnerable to dynamic loads actions, such as earthquakes, winds and even occupation by users or machines. Due to this flexibility, these structures commonly suffer from excessive vibration, which can cause users discomfort or compromise the building safety. This work presents preliminary design parameters for an Inverted Pendulum Tuned Mass Damper (IPTMD), which can be used to protect dynamically loaded structures against undesirable vibration levels.
