Abstract
Guangzhou Asian Games Comprehensive Museum is one of the permanent buildings for the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, whose bowl-shaped main body is a steel structure with the largest cantilever length of more than 30 meters. The structure has a low natural frequency, so it tends to be excited by people synchronizing walking with amplification of resonance, which will affect the serviceability. A large amount of analysis and field-tests are performed for this historical museum with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) being used to reduce human walking induced vibration. The results showed that TMDs can control the structure vertical vibration effectively, with the efficiency of over 50%. The research results have obvious significance for similar projects.
