This paper discusses on performance for the passive control of structures such as bridges and space structures by using a tuned mass damper with Toggle Strut String Systems (TSSS). TSSS are deformation vibration control devices with lever mechanism having auxiliary masses, which are invented by authors.
In this paper, the proposed system is applied to Pedestrian Crossing Bridges. The forced vibration experiment and micro tremor observation were carried out, which prove the effectiveness of the system and fundamental vibration characteristics of the Pedestrian Crossing Bridges.
