Chapter 8 : Conclusions and Recommendations
8.4 Recommendations for Further Research
Following are some suggestions for further research,
It is recommended to extend ‘Generalised Reduction Pattern” including cost of the dampers. Hence optimisation can be modified for combined cost, benefit and technical aspects.
It is recommended that the proposed analytical method be applied in wind- excited high-rise building structures equipped with MR dampers.
Structures may have asymmetric due to geometry or stiffness and mass distributions. Therefore it is recommended to extend this procedure to asymmetry structures.
Further research using experimental techniques can be carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies.
