The article provides
an overview of the use of tuned mass dampers (TMD) in some of the most famous
buildings and structures around the world for nearly three decades. The article
also discusses the use of tuned mass dampers when increasing the seismic
resistance of mosque minarets and enhancing their resistance to wind action. An
example is given of the possible use of such dampers in the minaret of the Great Mosque
of Aleppo in Syria, using as an example the parameters and characteristics of the
devastating earthquake that occurred back in 1995 in the city of Kobe in Japan.
The optimal characteristics of the components of the tuned mass damper used to
enhance the stability of the minaret of the aforementioned mosque against
seismic and wind impact have been selected. The results of the analysis are
obtained and conclusions are drawn. Used Books:
