Abstract
Since a steel frame system three-story house tends to resonate with traffic vibration transmitted in the foundation, each maker company has coped with it by installing TMD (Tuned Mass Damper). However, there is a problem tuning of TMD shifts from the optimal state because the characteristic of a building changes with degradation by many years past etc. There, development of the vibration suppression equipment which can respond to a broad frequency band is expected to be able to respond, even if the characteristic of a building changes to some extent. Then, a basic performance of the impact mass dumper is estimated by the analysis in this research, and the possibility as the traffic Vibration suppression device for the detached house is examined.
