Tuned　liquid　damper　(TLD)　is　a　typical　effective　passive　vibration　control　device.　In　view　of　the　problem　of　lack　of　research　on　the　damping　properties　of　TLD　for　high-rise　structures　in　frequency　domain　under　the　influences　of　different　parameters,　a　real-time　substructure　testing　system　was　established　for　evaluating　seismic　performance　of　high-rise　buildings　installed　with　TLD.　A　series　of　sinusoidal　excitation　tests　were　conducted　to　investigate　the　damping　performance　of　TLD　with　different　parameters　in　frequency　domain.　The　influences　of　excitation　frequency　ratio,　TLD　frequency　ratio,　TLD　mass　ratio,　structural　damping　ratio,　and　input　amplitude　on　the　seismic　performance　of　TLD　in　frequency　domain　were　discussed.　Results　show　that　TLD　had　the　best　damping　effect　on　structural　acceleration　and　displacement　when　the　input　excitation　frequency　and　TLD　frequency　were　both　first-order　frequency　of　the　structure.　Meanwhile,　the　damping　effect　of　TLD　became　worse　with　the　increase　in　damping　ratio　and　was　little　affected　by　the　input　amplitude.　When　the　input　excitation　frequency　and　TLD　frequency　deviated　from　the　structural　frequency,　TLD　did　not　significantly　increase　the　response　of　the　structure,　except　for　the　negative　effect　when　the　input　excitation　frequency　was　lower　than　the　structural　frequency.　TLD　is　more　suitable　for　controlling　the　resonance　response　components　of　structures　with　small　damping　ratios,　has　poor　damping　effect　on　the　frequency　components　far　away　from　the　natural　frequency　of　structures,　and　may　have　great　adverse　effects　on　the　frequency　components　less　than　the　natural　frequency　of　structures.　Copyright　©2022　Journal　of　Harbin　Institute　of　Technology.All　rights　reserved.
