Abstract
The response reduction capabilities of liquid column vibration absorber (LCVA), installed on a 5 storey benchmark building structure were discussed. The behavior of LCVA was examined utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, solving for the Navier Stokes equations. It was found that a mass ratio of up to 1% represents an upper bound in order to achieve optimum response reduction. Control against a simulated wind load, using a 1% mass ratio, showed that the LCVA has the potential to reduce accelerations and displacements effectively.
