Abstract
One of the most important applications of the theory of structural dynamics is analyzing
the response of the structures to earthquakes and winds. The analytical solutions of the
equation of motion for Multi-Degree of Freedom System is always a challenging job for
any structural engineers. The analysis becomes much more difficult when
unconventional structures such as Zip-Line towers are subjected to huge lateral loading
along with the wind or earthquake excitation.
Present study focuses on dynamic analysis of a Zip line tower in Kochi Kerala subjected
to wind and earthquake loading. For purpose of analysis, Non-linear time history
method of dynamic analysis will be used in CSI ETABS 2015. In addition to this,
dynamic analysis of tower will also be done by providing Visco-Elastic dampers at
various locations to reduce vibrations in the structure. At the end, optimum locations of
the dampers will be determined by trial and error method.
