Resumen

This paper analyzes the control of the seismic response of asymmetric buildings, through the incorporation of Tuned Mass Damper (TMD), evaluating different distributions of these devices on the top floor to obtain an alternative to improve the response of the structure in order to control the torsional effects of the first two mode of vibrating due to irregularities in the plant. The previous one is done using a finite element computational model where the main variable is the participatory mass of the torsional mode, this being the first way to vibrate and a reduction of up to 40% of that variable was obtained.
