Implication

Application of double-tuned mass dampers improved seismic response in controlled rocking steel frames, indicating significant reductions in structural demand.

Key Points

Double-tuned mass dampers demonstrated effectiveness in mitigating higher mode effects in controlled rocking frames.
Under far-field earthquakes, median story shears in frames with double TMDs were reduced by up to 33.7%.
Sensitivity analyses and optimization studies confirmed the structural advantages of using double TMDs in seismic applications.
Incorporating optimal double TMDs decreased the rocking frame weight by an average of 14% while reducing dynamic demands.
